About 75% of all the Presidents are/were related by either blood or marriage. You can go to RootsWeb.com and look each one up to see how they are related to each other. RootsWeb.com is free.
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America is also in the mix with most of them, also. Some Presidents are/were also related to the British Royal Family, (This includes both Bushes) if you go back far enough.

I know that our current president is the only 1 to be a direct decendent of 2 former presidents. His father (of course) & Franklin Pierce (on his mother's side). The 2 Adam's were father & son, the 2 Harrison's grandfather & grandson & the 2 Roosvelt's cousins of some sort.
I'm not aware of any others.

I think you had John Adams, and John Quincey Adams. then there was Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt, then George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, and I think that's all.
(I could be wrong)
