See, I've done genealogy research that tells me that Hilary Clinton is my 10th cousin, 10 times removed, and so is Ronald Reagan. Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Robert Louis Stevenson, Johnny Cash--all distant cousins of mine. So in that sense, I imagine most of my ancestors were cousins

Also thought I would share this set of alternative lyrics that you often hear performers like Ledward Kaapana (who has a twin brother named Nedward, by the way) insert into the song Manuela Boy:

I want to marry this wahine I know
Her name is Haunani Ho
I told my papa and he said no
Haunani is your sister but your mama don't know!

I told my mama what my papa had said
She said no hila hila
You can marry Haunani Ho
Your papa's not your papa but your papa don't know!
