Surnames: Obama, Bunch, Bunce
Several months ago, I was surprised to find that President Obama is my 7th cousin through his mother's side of his family. Here is a list of his grandparents (with birth and death dates) from the line that includes the Bunch surname.

John Bunce (1430 - 1515)
is your 17th great grandfather

John Bunce (1472 - )
Son of John

Richard Bunce (1520 - 1555)
Son of John

Edward Bunce (1545 - )
Son of Richard

John Bunce (1565 - 1615)
Son of Edward

James Bunce (1585 - 1606)
Son of John

Thomas Bunce Sr. (1612 - 1683)
Son of James

John Bunch (1636 - 1700)
Son of Thomas

John Bunch (1662 - 1729)
Son of John

John Bunch (1690 - 1742)
Son of John

Samuel Hamilton Bunch (1726 - 1782)
Son of John

Charles Bunch (1765 - 1820)
Son of Samuel Hamilton

Nathaniel Bunch (1793 - 1859)

Frances Ann Allred (1834 - 1918)

Margaret Isabel "Bell" Wright (1869 - 1935)
Daughter of Frances Ann

Leona McCurry (1897 - 1968)
Daughter of Margaret Isabel "Bell"

Madelyn Lee Payne (1922 - 2008)
Daughter of Leona

Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham (1942 - 1995)
Daughter of Madelyn Lee

President Barack Hussein "Barry" Obama Jr.
You are the son of Dr. Stanley Ann

Hope this helps! Happy ancestor and relative hunting!

P.S. Regarding the current publicity related to our president's genealogy, I found no connection to Mr. Punch. The name Bunch came from Bunce (England), not Punch. If anyone has found such a connection, I would appreciate a note in response to this post regarding the official source. I want my family tree to be as true as is humanly possible.

How could Thomas Bunch, Sr., who was born in 1612, have been the son of James Bunch who died in 1606?
