In Judith Miller's (To the Shores of Tripoli - Feb 14/07) review of Michael Oren's book "Power, Faith and Fantasy" I believe she is quoting Oren when she calls George Bush, author of "The Valley of Visions"
(1844), a forebear (ancestor) of the two presidents (George H.W. Bush & George W. Bush).
According to this: http://genealogy.about.com/od/presidents/p/george_bush.htm,
and this: http://www.wargs.com/political/bush.html,
it appears Oren and, therefore, Miller are wrong.
According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bush_(biblical_scholar)
he is a first cousin of the two presidents four times and fives times removed respectively.
I am not so interested as to do any more investigative reporting, but Judith Miller might be!
