Genealogists at ancestry.com claim President Obama and Omaha billionaire Warren Buffett are distant cousins.

According to the genealogists, a 17th-century Frenchman who immigrated to the United States is Obama's ninth great-grandfather and Buffett's sixth great-grandpa.

The discovery was made by accident when genealogists who had researched the president's family tree went on to investigate other celebrities.
