but if you think yours is convoluted, look at Barack Obama's. Talk about multicultural: Africans, Asians (both from Indonesia and China (including one by way of Canada)), British, etc. They've moved around even further, studying in a variety of places abroad like Germany and South Korea. Religions include Roman Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, other forms of Christianity, and through his wife, a branch of relatives that are African-American Jews. Whew! Didn't he say something about his family being like the United Nations? He was right!
The Wikipedia article includes a nice genealogical chart to keep everyone straight. With polygamy in Africa and a series of marriages and divorces throughout the family, there are lots of 'steps' and 'halves'.
I have a tiny family by comparison. I can't imagine everyone getting together at one time for his family celebrations.
