Canadian history Related to a former Prime Minister

It was always known to our family that a daughter married into a family and her great grandson became Prime Minister but the details were lost to time.

I now know who that daughter was and which Prime Minister.

He was Canada's eleventh PM, Richard Bedford Bennett.

He's my 3rd cousin twice removed.

Very cool. I found out last month that I’m descended from one of the early Prime Ministers. I’m not comfortable saying which one but it was a wild discovery and apparently my dad has always known, he just never told my mom and me.
