Many residents in the impoverished Kenyan village of Nyang oma Kogelo share a unique claim to fame: they 're related to the man who may be America s first black president Barack Obama.

Obama 's father left Nyang oma Kogelo to study in America. Following his separation from Obama 's mother, he had several more children.
