John Adams and John Quincy Adams; William Hentry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison; Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson; Theodore Roosevelt and Frnaklin Delano Roosevelt; George H. W. Bush and George W.

Have fun. :)

To be honest I was expecting to be humiliated when you replied and I got most wrong. It's pretty shocking to hear that I got them all right.

I'm going to guess their relationships below in blue.

John Adams and John Quincy Adams - yes, they are related
John Quincy Adams is John Adams son.

William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison - yes, they are related
Hmm let's go with brothers. Why? Well, you wouldn't ask this question if ALL related presidential pairs are father and son.

Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson - no, they are not related

Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt - yes, they are related
Let's go with FDR being Theodore Roosevelt's grandson.

George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush - yes, they are related
This one I know for a fact. Father and son.

You got some of them right, Chris. I will leave the topic open for a bit to see if anyone else can come up with more.

During the Obama administration it was discovered that all the presidents up to that point (with the exception of one ---- I forget who, though) were cousins. Umm....with obvious exception if they were father and son or something. Makes me curious about Trump, but yeah, this was done before his presidency.

All humans are, at the very least, distant cousins, unless we are more closely related. That's a crazy thought, but true. In fact, I think we share common DNA with even bananas and aardvarks. Sorry, I'm in a weird mood. But I'm serious. I think. 8)
