My mother is a Todd and she is the 16th cousin of Mary Todd Lincoln and also is related to Abraham Lincoln through marriage so I am the 17th and I found from my grandpa who is 92 and still alive that his grandpa was scottish and my great great grandmother was from Germany and due was a hietenmeyer so it's confusing because there are so many todds and which liniage leads to which is confusing like I don't get how other famous people like Tom hanks knows that he is related to Abraham Lincoln and he gets all this credit because it's like hello there are others out there and I've worked so hard I've found a knight that was named sir William Henry Todd of britan or scottland From the 1500s or the 1390 that's along way of I know and that he was from York shire England I guess some of the todds stayed in scottland or moved to England do to loss or death or maybe the potato famine but you know I'm not giving up I may be young but I have a long way to go I remember when I was in the goth grade and I did a report on Mary Todd Lincoln and what a quinceadince one kid was related to John wilks booth that was weird people were like he killed your ancestor what are you going to do and my teacher said that he was funny and while reading my report I remember leaving out things like Mary Todd committed suicide in her bathtub so there were blanks in a few parts I also found it inconsiderate that Mary Todds son took her to a ilusyum and did very so often did he visit her I mean she's your mother show young respect but on the other hand he was young and he has a life too but it's really a mystery so please reply at
