Donald Trump: the Canadian connection
Donald Trump's grandfather seems to have had quite a gaudy career during the Klondike gold rush (many thanks to Captain Heinrichs for sending along this fascinating article).

His daughter married my ancestor, who had us through a different "wife". 6 degrees?
Then again, seems to be someone with the same name and slightly different dates, ancestry stuff can be tricky.

ReplyDeletemaybe an Alaska connection too?
