DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: First, though, a look at some inaugural traditions.</s>MARK LEFF, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Family bibles are an inaugural tradition and so are, sometimes, the families. William Henry Harrison, president for only a month in 1841, was the son of Benjamin Harrison who signed the Declaration of Independence and the grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president. John Adams took office in 1797, whiles his 29-year-old diplomat son was working in Europe. And the elder Adams was too sick to be there when John Quincy Adams took the oath in 1824. Theodore Roosevelt had a private party after taking the oath in 1905. Guests included his niece Eleanor and distant cousin Franklin, who would marry Eleanor and become president himself in 1933. Franklin Roosevelt's last vice president, Harry Truman, who took over when he died, was the grand nephew of John Tyler, the first vice president who had to do that more than a century earlier after William Henry Harrison died. George Bush's children were at his 1989 inaugural. But George W. will be the first to have a presidential relative be there for him. Mark Leff, CNN.
