  The Roosevelt family definitely deserves coverage. The breadth of the tree is extraordinary, and every person is interesting in some way.

  Would love to see an extended Roosevelt tree and maybe some other NY Dutch trees (Schuyler, Van Rensselaer, etc).

  Typically Lincoln&apos;s voice is depicted as deep, but people who lived at the time said the voice sounded a little high and squeaky. &nbsp;I think the actor Daniel Day-Lewis has probably been closest to getting Lincoln&apos;s voice as it likely was.

  What I always found interesting was that Abraham Lincolns son Robert was friends (or more) with the fiancé of John Wilkes Booth and Lincoln had given her father special political positions. They were much more interconnected on a social level than is widely known.

  It would be cool to see Ulysses Grant&apos;s tree

  My apartment walls are covered with these family trees, they&apos;re great. I&apos;m 75 years old but the place looks like a kids room :)

  Great video, Matt. I suggest you do the family of John Tyler (1790-1862), 10th President of the United States. &nbsp;He was married twice. By his first wife, he had five sons and three daughters. &nbsp;By his second wife, he had five sons and two daughters. With 15 little Tylers, he had more children than any other US president. &nbsp;Because of one of his son&apos;s late-in-life marriage, Tyler had two grandsons living in the year 2017!

  Please do the John Adams family. That would be really interesting.<br><br>Can&apos;t wait to see what you do with Jefferson. Sally Hemmings is such a tragic figure, as is her maternal heritage.

  Great to see Abraham Lincoln&apos;s family tree (My favourite president!) The family really did have a tragic turn of events happen to them and I can&apos;t help but feel really sorry for them. The parentage of Nancy Hanks is really fascinating and I&apos;m glad you brang it up! I think Martin Van Buren&apos;s tree would be interesting as he is of 100% dutch descent, unlike all the other presidents who (to my knowledge) have connections to Ireland and Great Britain. Harry Truman&apos;s would also be interesting, as in my own research on his family I came across one of his ancestors, Hans Landis &quot;The Martyr&quot; who escaped from prison several times in the early 1600s. Another bit of Lincoln trivia is that he was born on the exact same day as Charles Darwin!

  The creator of Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward, is also a distant relation to Lincoln. Which is funny as Lincoln actually appears in the show.

  I checked to see if there was any connection between Charles Isham and Isham Park in NYC. Turns out that Isham Park is named after Charles&apos; father, William. According to Wikipedia, it also turns out that: &quot;William Bradley Isham&apos;s paternal grandfather, Samuel Isham (1752–1827), was the brother of Dr. Ezra Isham (1773–1835), both sons of John Isham II (1721–1802), who was born at Barnstable, Massachusetts and moved to Colchester, Connecticut. Dr. Ezra Isham was the father of Judge Pierpoint Isham (1802–1872) and grandfather of Edward Swift Isham (1836–1902), the law partner of Robert Todd Lincoln.&quot; So there&apos;s another relationship between the Ishams and the Lincolns.
