One cousin I'm not proud of

One of my 18th great-grandfathers is Sir Laurence Cheney (c. 1396 – 1461). Dick Cheney is also descended from him.

I'm descended through Elizabeth Cheney (Apr 1422 – 25 Sep 1473) who was the great-grandmother of Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, and Catherine Howard. Dick is descended through her brother John.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
