Theodore Roosevelt V

Theodore Roosevelt VI (born circa 1976), known as Theodore Roosevelt V, is an American businessman and environmentalist. Theodore is a great-great-grandson of 26th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and through his ancestor Cornelius Van Schaack Jr., he is a descendant of the Schuyler family.[1][2] His name suffix varies since President Roosevelt's father was Theodore Roosevelt Sr., though the same-named son did not commonly use a "Jr" name suffix. Hence, President Roosevelt's son is referred to as "Junior", though he was actually Theodore Roosevelt III, and the confusion regarding the names' suffixes continues to this day.
