Mr Clinton is not connected to our Blyth family, but I thought it would be fun to add this page in case any other Blyth(e) who visits IS related to him.  The familysearch.org site traces the President's family back to 1801 in So. Carolina and a visitor who signed my guestbook, Ian Blyth Morrison from Canada, tells me that "William Clinton (Blyth) is descended from Andrew Blythe, an uncle of Esther Faa Blyth, a Gypsy Queen. The family was centred in Kirk Yetholm, Roxburgh and most of them were gypsies."

Famous Quote:
"If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit."

  • Facts:
    • In 1978, Clinton was elected governor of Arkansas. At the time, at age 32, he was the youngest governor in the United States.
    • Clinton is known as a card shark with near-photographic memory. His favourite game is hearts.
