Washington genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner uncovered the ties, reports The Washington Post's Reliable Source column.
It turns out the Democratic presidential candidate, 60, and the Material Girl, 49, are 10th cousins. They share the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents – 17th-century French ancestors who moved to Quebec and then came south.
The former First Lady can also count Jolie, 32, as a ninth cousin, twice removed.
