yes. they are related through the two branches of the Roosevelt family, they were 5th cousins. However, Franklin married Eleanor Roosevelt who was the niece (the daughter of his younger brother) of Theodore. So the relationship/rivalry was a bit closer than just 5th cousins (especially between Franklin and Theodore's children.) Here is a Roosevelt family tree:

I'm pretty sure Teddy and Franklin were distant cousins. Teddy was also related to Eleanor Roosevelt, which made her and her husband fourth cousins.

The father usually is considered related to the son. Hope you can figure out which is which!

Yes. They were father and son, like the Bushes.

FDR was Teddy's 5th cousin and Eleanor was Teddy's niece and goddaughter (Eleanor's father was Teddy's younger brother)
