Dear mouse,
I love family trees. You will know the person better by knowing where his roots. This is the family Tree of Barack Obama, Democrat’s Presidential Candidate for Election 2008.
This is his mother when she was young together with Obama’s maternal grandparents.
This was his father who died at the age of 46. The photos were those of the second family of his father.
Both his parents remarried after the divorce. He has four half-siblings from his father’s side and one sister from his mother’s second marriage.
For the complete family tree, please go to Time photoessay.
Next is McCain and the vice-presidential candidates.

Dear “Cat”,
I’ve read your blogpost about Obama’s family tree and I thought maybe you’d like to come to know the practical side of genealogy as well. That is why I’d like to present our genealogy website (and the fastest-growing social network in Europe) http://www.itsourtree.com to you and recommend it for a review or an article on your site.
As life becomes faster and less reliable every day, the only remaining constant factor in life is the family. Our website supports this aspect by bringing the family closer together and helping the people to find relatives they didn’t know about. In the past, it has been difficult to stay in contact with distant relatives due to the fact that they live far away or their contact data got lost.
Itsourtree.com’s concept is simple: Due to our easy-to-use interface, you can create your own family tree with a few clicks completely free of charge. The added relatives can be invited automatically via email, look at the tree and participate in the building process. This way, a family network can be build up real quickly by means of the family tree.
We’re constantly improving the service and keep expanding to more and more countries all over the world. Apart from the English site, the services are available in seven languages. That way, you can easily invite relatives from other countries and stay in contact with distant relatives from anywhere in the world. So far, there are 4 million families working on their family tree and about 15,000 are added every day. The service is and will always be completely free of any charge and might be funded by additional premium services in the future, but we’re still thinking about that.
Maybe you’re interested and want to write something about us. We’d appreciate a link to our site or our blog, too. We’ve got a daily blog (http://www.itsourtree.com/blog), too, and we will definitely link you in our blogposts. In case that you need any further information or want to ask any question, please feel free to write me to Christian.Richtscheid@itsourtree.com.
With kind regards,
Christian Richtscheid
