Not that distant, I believe that I read they are second cousins.

No, it's not that close. They think it goes waaay back to either Newfoundland or Norfolk Island. (At least according to an old Fortune Magazine article I have discussing that very question)

I wish I could scan in the picture with that article, btw...
It is of Warren in a Hawaiian shirt, fixing the tie for a blue-blazered and wincing Jimmy!

"inhabited by hundreds of Buffetts but used to be a penal colony, so centuries of inbreeding have blurred family lines"

Yup....that sounds about right!

Cool

thanks for that link.

JFYI -that is just a part of the article, though.
Too bad they don't have the picture too.

It is a HOOT!

Last night before the Columbus show I was talking to Buffett's bodyguard - Charles, I think - who specifically mentioned this set of pictures.

He said he got a kick out of the fact he spends so much time at concerts trying to prevent photos from being snapped and then he winds up on Buffettnews.com in some of the photos.

I quote - "its all good. It was kind of funny."

I think it just proves that Jimmy, the band and crew are dropping in here from time to time.

Actually, it is Charleston.

Check the earlier parts of this thread for more information.

Maybe we should devote some discussion time for him.
