2. I had not realized that Boris Johnson's family is a direct male line to Ali Kemal Bey

"Ali Kemal Bey (Ottoman Turkish: عَلِى كمال? بك?; 1869 – 6 November 1922) was an Ottoman-born Turkish[1][2] journalist, newspaper editor, poet[3] and a liberal-leaning politician, who was for some three months Minister of the Interior in the government of Damat Ferid Pasha, the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. He was murdered by a mob during the Turkish War of Independence.

Kemal is the father of Zeki Kuneralp, who was the former Turkish ambassador in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. In addition, he is the paternal grandfather of both the Turkish diplomat Selim Kuneralp, and the British politician Stanley Johnson. Through Stanley Johnson, Ali Kemal is the great-grandfather of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his siblings."
