ETA- How the heck is EVERYONE related except Martin Van Buren of all people! Where did he come from?
He was Dutch. Everyone else had at least some English ancestry, which is where the connections come from, but it looks like Van Buren's ancestry was entirely Dutch -- not so uncommon for upstate New York at the time.

I only had it the summer between freshman and sophomore year in college (no need for it on campus), but it was a cool car to drive around in, if a pain to parallel park.
