ウォレン・バフェットとユグノーのことを書きました。
ウォレン・バフェットの父親とバフェットが入会した大学の秘密クラブの設立者の一人、Louis Manigaultの祖先はフランスから逃げてきたユグノーのPierre Manigault。
（サウスカロライナ大学のウェブサイトにはPierreの妻であった、Judith Giltonの情報が書かれていますが、ピエールが17世紀終わりにはすでにサウスカロライナで大きな権力を持っていたのがわかります。

Sometime before 1695 Judith married a weaver and fellow Huguenot, Noe Royer. Royer died around 1698, and the following year Judith married Pierre Manigault, another Huguenot refugee. The Manigaults ran a boardinghouse in Charleston and began to build a distillery and cooperage, laying the foundation for an enormous fortune in trade and local commerce run from their warehouse and mercantile businesses. Judith Manigault died in 1711, leaving behind a son, Gabriel, and a daughter, Judith. When Pierre Manigault died in 1729, he had established the family as wealthy and powerful within the colony and had positioned his son to become one of the most influential men in South Carolina.）
実は同じくフランスから逃れてきたユグノーに、Mareen Duvllという人がいますが、この方はバラク・オバマ前大統領、ウォレン・バフェットの先祖であるという話があるようです。
President Barack Obama and Warren Buffett are 7th cousins, 3 times removed. Family history experts at Ancestry.com discovered the relation and determined that the men are related through a 17th-century Frenchman named Mareen Duvall – Pres. Obama’s 9th great-grandfather and Buffett’s 6th great-grandfather.
英文ウィキペディアには、外にハリー・トルーマン、ディック・チェイニー、シンプソン夫人などとも繋がっているとも書かれています。

Mareen Duval
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mareen_Duvall
Mareen Duvall (1625–1694) was a French Huguenot and an early American settler
(中略）
In genealogies, he is often called "The Emigrant" to distinguish him from several descendants also named Mareen Duvall. His notable descendants include U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman and Barack Obama, American Vice-President Dick Cheney, Wallis Simpson (for whom Edward VIII gave up the throne), and actor Robert Duvall.
Other descendants include U.S. Associate Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Duvall, billionaire Warren Buffett, Confederate General Bradley Tyler Johnson, and Confederate spy Betty Duvall.

この説の信憑性があるかないかはおいても、オバマ氏の母親、Stanley Ann Dunhamの経歴はちょっと不思議です。
普通の家庭の娘としては。

Ann Dunham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Dunham
抜粋：
Born in Wichita, Kansas, Dunham studied at the East–West Center and at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, where she attained a bachelor of arts degree in anthropology (1967), and later received master of arts (1974) and PhD (1992) degrees, also in anthropology. She also attended University of Washington at Seattle in 1961–1962. Interested in craftsmanship, weaving, and the role of women in cottage industries, Dunham's research focused on women's work on the island of Java and blacksmithing in Indonesia. To address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development. Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and she consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Towards the latter part of her life, she worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia, where she helped apply her research to the largest microfinance program in the world.
なお、アン氏は1961年にハワイでオバマ氏を出産していますが、1955年〜ハワイ大学に進学する前、ハワイでオバマ氏を出産した1961年から数年（日本語版ウィキペディアでは「1964年まで」となっています。）ワシントン州で暮らしています。（ワシントン州はゲイツ家のホームグラウンド）
アンの母親はMadelyn Dunham。
ワシントン州に移る前にレストランの仕事をしていた母親、ワシントン州では銀行のVice President(日本の会社の場合はVice Presidentは「副頭取」になります。)に。
ワシントン州でVice Presidentとしてマデリーンを引き立てた銀行は、ビル・ゲイツの母親の実家Maxwell家の銀行ではなかった・・・ですかね。

Madelyn Dunham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelyn_Dunham
抜粋：
With Madelyn and Stanley Dunham both working full-time, the family moved to Berkeley, California, Ponca City, Oklahoma, Vernon, Texas, El Dorado, Kansas, Seattle, Washington and settled in Mercer Island, Washington, where Ann Dunham graduated from Mercer Island High School. In El Dorado, Madelyn Dunham worked in restaurants and Stanley Dunham had managed a furniture store. In Seattle, she eventually became vice-president of a local bank and Stanley Dunham worked in a bigger furniture store (Standard-Grunbaum Furniture). Mercer Island was then "a rural, idyllic place", quiet, politically conservative and all white. Madelyn and Stanley Dunham attended church at the East Shore Unitarian Church in Bellevue. While in Washington, Madelyn Dunham attended the University of Washington although she never completed a degree.
