Here's how I am related to President Zachary Taylor (5th cousin, 7 times removed). Even though I am not directly related to FDR, I have also included President Taylor's relationship with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt from Roberts's book, since their relationship (step-4th cousin, 3 times removed) intersects at the same generation of the Brewster/Allerton family as mine:
