Was former President Gerald Ford related to Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company?

I was wondering since both of them were from Michigan.

No. Gerald Ford's birth name was Leslie King. After his mother divorced the abusive Mr. King, she married Mr.Gerald R. Ford, and Leslie eventually adopted his step-father's name.

No relationship. Ford was not from Michigan. He moved there just after birth when his parents separated.
