Anybody have well known relatives.

[gilligan fanatic]

Recently I learned that my Uncles father was a congressman for Michigan for 18 years. I never got to meet him but I think it is very neat having somebody well known like that related to me. 18 years is a long time in office. Anybody else have well known relatives?

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

I think we're related [on my dads side] to Alexander Graham Bell. I dunno, my dads not sure. This is the man who told me we were French when I asked him what nationalities we were when I was about 8 :lol:. He denies it now!

[D.J.]

My cousin is Edmonton Oiler Fernando Pisani.

[PZelda]

Not that I know of. I did, however, have this friend in school and she is Josh Duhamel's first cousin...Their dads are brothers, so there ya go. I thought that was pretty cool. :D

[Dutabi84]

I am kind of related to future Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux.

[Dean Winchester]

I know someone whose second cousin is Celine Dion, they've never met though

[MaydayMalonesGirl]

I'm related to Ben Olsen (a professional soccer player) by marriage. He is my uncle's nephew on the other side. He's pretty well-known in the soccer world. He was on the Olympic soccer team, too. I've met him a few times and I've played soccer with him. loll, I'll always remember that because the game was boys vs. girls and he cheated, so he wrote my sister a note saying sorry.

And he was on the front of a video game! We have this in my house someplace.

My cousin has a son with Howie Long's sister. He's about 20 now.

I have another cousin who played for the NY Giants in the late 70s.

[Sterling Holobyte]

Personally, I don't. But when I lived in Indiana I rented a house from the cousin of Ken Kercheval(Cliff Barnes on Dallas). Apparently he even visited a few times. Unfortunately not when I was there though; but I only lived in that house about a year.

[Karen*]

Not really. My dad did tell me that he was in the Army with Jeffrey Dahmer though. :eek:

[ponytail]

My mom's cousin, Danny Bunz, played with the 49's and has a Super Bowl ring and my dad's uncle played with a famous cajun band and is in the Country Music Hall Of Fame. Off the subject abit, but my cousin's family used to live in Sybil's ( the lady with multiable personalities ) house back in the 60's. I remember visting them and the house had a creepy feeling to me. I had never heard of Sybil either. Before we girls went to bed upstairs that night my aunt warned me about my cousin waking up and screaming. I didn't sleep well that night. After they moved out her nightmares ended.

[gilligan fanatic]

I think he's either your grandfather or not related at all.


But anyways, nope, not related to anyone famous.

he's not my grandfather

[Chad Michael Murray]

Well, my family tree is related to both the Hatfields AND the McCoys, those feuding families from West Virginia from a long time ago. I always think that most people have heard of them, but I'm surprised when I meet people who have no idea who they are.

Anyway, like 50 years ago or whatever, a Hatfield married a McCoy and then them and their offspring are all like my cousins or whatever.

And no, I don't act like a hillbilly, so...yeah, don't even think it. Lmao

Also, one of the attournies in the OJ Simpson case is like one of my distant cousins or something.

And I have another cousin (one I actually know) who has appeared on World's Most Talented Kids or something like that, and she was also on The Jenny Jones Show. She's a singer, and when she was younger she was one of those kids who participates in pageants and all of that.

[Tuesday Weld]

Nope. :lol:

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Apparently I'm related to Adam and Eve ;ozlaolqwq who nknew that was cojmjng?~?~ I'm a baitch.

[seventies_sitcoms]

Here is a list of people I am supposd to be related to on my mother's side of the family. John Alden, Priscilla Alden, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rev. Alden from Little House, Orson Welles, and Norma Jean Baker. I have trouble believing all of it.

Here is a website that shows the famous people I am supposed to be related to somehow.

That would be awesome to be related to June...

I'm related to LOCAL celebrities, but no one you guys would know.

[The Chauffeur]

Why?
Because I'm ashamed to be in the same bloodline

[The Chauffeur]

Rob is a decendant of Queen Mary of Scotts though...his uncle is the keeper of her original letters....I was always more impressed by that than he was though :lol:

[Cactus Jack]

Because I'm ashamed to be in the same bloodline

[Ambear]

I'm not sure, but I was told I might be related to Samuel F.B. Morse (aka inventor of the Morse Code). My 4th/5th grade teacher was related to Amelia Earhart, which I always thought was really cool.

[Karen*]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I know huh? He said he was watching a documentary on him and the documentary recalled the time Dahmer was in the Army...he was at the EXACT same base as my dad in Germany at the EXACT time. And my dad told he remembers seeing him around. It's chilling to even think about it.

[swedeace]

My paternal aunt traced relatives as far back as the 1492 era - Columbus and his voyage. She learned that one of our greatest ancestors travelled on the SAME boat as Christopher Columbus straight from Spain. We have some Spaniard in us, obviously.

[Liza]

There's a cousin of my family that was a first cousin of someone named Sir Alfred Hitchcock :D

COOOOL!!!

[Ags2000]

I have a cousin that is some famous painter (never met her but my dad has) In the cotton business, the name Moses is VERY well known. Between my grandfather, my Uncle, and now my cousins, they have a lot of clout in the cotton business.

I'm also related to Abe Lincoln through marriage. He married some relative on my dad's side.

My brother is VERY well known in Austin. He's been in politics for years.

D

[Liza]

My best friend is related to Mary Todd Lincoln, through one of her brother's I believe. Her mom's maiden name was Todd. I remember her explaining that they all had to keep their family history straight because the mental illness Mary had does run in the family.:eek4:

I'm not sure, but I was told I might be related to Samuel F.B. Morse (aka inventor of the Morse Code). My 4th/5th grade teacher was related to Amelia Earhart, which I always thought was really cool.
My grandpa told me we were related to Samuel Morse! :lol:

[Steve M.]

I once wrote a fan letter to seventies supermodel Karen Graham, and she wrote back saying we could be related, because a distant ancestor of hers shared her last name with me. My father's paternal grandmother was a relative of Philadelphia Mayor James Tate (1962-1972).

[Howdoulikemenow333]

Dwight Yokeman.... He's my first or 2 nd cosin,never met him though. His Granfather was my Grandfather's brother.i

[crystals]

My dad's cousin, my Great Uncle's son, is a scientist who works at the level 4 lab for Health Canada in Winnipeg. I wouldn't say he's that well-known, though.

[Rene]

my uncle was the running backs coach for the buccaneers when they won the superbowl and now hes a coach for the arizona cardinals, though hes not that famous

[Rene]

Not really. My dad did tell me that he was in the Army with Jeffrey Dahmer though. :eek:
