Tim McGraw's Connection To The Presley's

On a recent edition of Who Do You Think You Are? on NBC, Country singer Tim Mcgraw traces his roots on his father's side of the family. Tim is the son of Major League Baseball player Tug McGraw who played for the Mets and the Phillies. Tim did not find out until the age of 11 that Tug was his dad. Tug denied it until Tim turned 18....how convenient. But Tim and his dad created a relationship once Tim was of age and Tug was not obligated by law to support him. A big thumbs up to Tim's Mom and stepdad for filling that void while Tug was an absent father. A child's love for their parent is unbreakable. His dad died in 2004. So Tim was curious about his family history. In the show. Tim finds out one of his ancestors from Germany traveled to the UK and then to the USA and became a real estate giant who even hosted and inspired former president George Washington as a young man.
Tim then finds out that while his ancestors were traveling over to the USA, they traveled with another music legend's ancestors by the name of Preslar - the ancestors of Elvis Presley!
When Tim returns home and tells his uncle ( brother to MLB player Tug McGraw) his uncle tells him, Tug was such a huge fan of Elvis that he once bought a car only because it was playing Elvis music. He says Tug loved Graceland! And the show ends with Tim and his Uncle quite proud that his family and the Presley family might have been jamming on the way over to the greatest country in the world, the USA! Now that is too cool! Next we need to see Lisa Marie Presley on Who Do You Think You Are?on NBC!
