Where did Tom Hanks get his sense of humor? Maybe from his grandfather -- Clarence Frager -- who listed his job as "squirrel inspector" on his daughter's birth certificate. Frager actually identified his profession as "rodent control" on the 1930 Census, according to Ancestry.com. A closer look into Hanks' family tree also shows that the Oscar-winning actor is a fourth cousin, four generations removed from President Lincoln.
