Ok so this may be weird but my last name is Calhoun. So I was wondering could I be related to John C. Calhoun. I always wondered this. And how could I find out?

Hi, RadioActive697!
Yes, you could be related.
What you do is something like the following.
John C. Calhoun Genealogy - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=John+C.+Calhoun+Genealogy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)
Also, if you join and read forums like the following ones, you'll be more likely to get some answers from real people.
Calhoun Family Genealogy Forum (Page 2) (http://genforum.genealogy.com/calhoun/page2.html)
South Carolina Genealogy Forum (Page 105) (http://genforum.genealogy.com/sc/page105.html)

Go to the LDS church in your area and they will have or can order the records you need. I warn you, when you start researching your family tree , you will become absolutely addicted to it.:D It's amazing what you find.:eek: Good Luck.

I don't know why we are cousins. But, according to one of my first cousins, it's possible, given how genealogists work the genealogy thing.
