It's a thread at SB and I thought it'd be interesting if it was asked here too.

What famous/historical person or people are you related to? For example, one guy over there at SB was related to Gregor Mendell, father of genetics.


I guess that's the kind of famous or historical we're looking for, though a person of less stature is okay too. So, what famous or historical person or people are you related to?


For me, I have no idea.

My stepdad is related to Don Juan de Oñate.

I'm related to a famous English Actor, if you count shaking hands with him once relations

Daniel Boone.

I am related to God. Infact, I am God. I made God as a toy.

my great-grandfather was the deputy financial minister under Lenin. Shot by order of Stalin in 1936.

Have a very nice day.

Um, some of my ancestors were French pirates. Not famous ones, but it's still cool to say.

Well, I'm related to King George III.....but thats offset by my relation to Jessie James. (no, I'm not making this up)

I believe that my great-great-great-great-great grandfather was personal secretary to George Washington, and considering that my mother's side probably has hundreds of descendants, and my great-grandfather was one of four sons whose lineage my family hasn't traced, I wouldn't be surprised if there were others.

You have to be kidding me.

There's a Boone waaaay back on my mom's side...

My family traces back to King Fergus of Ulster....though, as I'm adopted, that isnt much of a claim for me

Wanna play Pirate?

As for me, I have no idea...anyway to look this up online?

I can trace my ancestory back to the nobles of my the clan of my family name in Scotland.

I think I've got some President Harrison blood.

Our family is connected to a few minor Irish and English nobles from back in the day but that's about it.

Oh and we're also connected somewhat to a Italian mob family, don't ask how that's the report of my cousin that lives in Rome.

My family traces back to King Fergus of Ulster.

By God! King of Ulster? Truly a giant among men! Mighty empires quiver at his passing!

Nah, that's cool. My ancestors were Neapolitan peasants, so I can't really talk.

I just found the idea of King Fergus to be the most entertaining bit of it....

Nope. He's my sixth great uncle.

Amazing. I don't have the stuff on me right now, but one of my great-aunts was very much interested in geneaology and composed huge family trees. It's a pretty distant relation, but the Boone family is in there...

Of course, going back further, she found that the family was also related to Sir Thomas More.

Somewhere on my mother's side is a gaggle of Korean Emperors....I have no idea of which and well will one day have a genalogy chart to inform me of my blind ignorance on the matter .

Am related to John Simpson, for whom my father (and I) was named. My great uncle was the G4 for General George S. Patton during WW2.

Im related in someway to the Birdman of Alcatraz. I think he is a distant cousin.
