Political candidates relish their humble immigrant roots, and if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton makes a run for the Oval Office, she, too, will have an American tale to tell. Her great-grandfather left the coal mines of England for the coal mines of Pennsylvania. He later worked as a police officer (1900 Census) and a florist (1910 Census), living with a wife and nine children under one roof.
