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

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:

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.

all i know about my family history is our last name was slightly diffrent from whatever country we originally came from (europe, scottland, germany, something on that side of the world) and my ancestors were in alooooooooooot of trouble so they came to america and changed their name ever so slightly....

seems my family just seethes 'fuck up'... lol

im related to this man.

My ancestor Salah al-Din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub took Palestine from the crusaders back in the day. He was pretty famous then for that.

I'm vary closely related to Jacques Cartier, the first European to penetrate the continent and first person to use the word Canada to name it. My great maternal grandma who is still alive still has the last name Cartier, my maternal grandma would too but she got married.

Only "famous" person I know of so far that I'm related too.
