Are you related to someone famous, semi famous in some way?

[geonagual]

probably wouldnt be wise to put anyones names..just kinda say what they do/did.

My step dad has a cousin that won 2 gold medal in Archery in the olympics and was also on the television show Thats Incredible..he shot an arrow through the back of another arrow..

then I also have 3 uncles that were in a 11 man band that had the #3 song in America in the middle 60's. pretty much a one hit wonder..I still hear it occasionally when I am in a grocery store..it is a cool song..my uncle is the lead singer and looks pretty much like me..

alright, they are not real famous but it was something..lol
your turn..

edit: I cant figure out how to put the question mark????????but up there, the tittle is to long..I just dont want to retype it..ok..ill do it..I didnt even have to retype it..THAT WAS EASY!

If you ever say "Have a good one!" In public one day, and some tall skinny guy with short hair and a scar under his right eye comes up and asks for a job, its me.




As for the topic: I am distantly related to Winston Churchill.

Also, one of my ancestors was a Prussian Dutchess who ran away with the god damn stableboy.. what a heritage lol.

I have alot of Sicilian relatives, but I dont know but a few hundred of them. Most of the ones I want to meet have been wisely distanced from me my whole life. Neither my dad, nor any of his family will even tell me names. Even my uncles that spend half their time in jail wont tell me.

I am my own idol and no-one out there with any kind of "Notariety" is of any importance to me but I am related to Candice Bergen so my mother tells me. Candice is like my 4th or 5th cousin, big deal. She gives me no money and won't smoke weed with me, so she serves no purpose and is a waste of breath as far as I am concerned.:mad:

I have a distant cousin that played guitar for Loretta Lynn, when she first started singing, she was living down the street in Butcher Hollar from from Feds Creek, KY in the 50s

I went to Jr High school with Susan Ford circa, 1969 my Dad would say, quote,
Do you know you go to school with a Senators daughter?
I said, "Yeah Dad but shes a snob", she did allow me to sit at her lunch table

I emailed Susan once in my adult hood and thanked her for letting me "sit" at her lunch table, I never got an email back she prolly though I was some kinda NUT!


:thumbsup:

[beachguy in thongs]

My grandmother told me, before she died (when I was eight), that Betsy Ross was in my bloodline. I don't see how that is because my mother was adopted by her mother's sister, and, she married a Ross. My mother's father's surname was Wickware.
