Got any family in Wikipedia?

[Lorkas]

Was there anyone famous enough in you family, like a grandfather, so that he or she deserved a wikipedia article?

I have...

[yurgenburgen]

There was a guy from my year at school who got a Wikipedia page for doing something government-related but I can't remember his last name.

Pretty sure they were brothers through a marriage or something, not 100% sure, but yes, this is what my Grandma has told me... I'll take her word.

nevermind, they are brothers through blood, just read about them...
I knew nothing about these guys until my grandma told me our relation actually, I knew who they were and stuff, but I've never been interested.

Charles Goodyear

hes my great great great great grandfather through adoption of my grandfather, if that makes any sense.

[Heil]

yes, but some people speak bad about him and it isnt nice

[ChaDMcBaDD]

Not in wikipedia but, Emily Poe, the former fiddle player for Taylor Swift, is my....4th or 5th cousin in law. lol

[Fleuve]

Rudolph which I take some pride in it, actu-ally, since it comes from a rather noble source (Old Ger-man for "Red Wolf" of "Famous Wolf" [Hroth-wulf in Old Latin], a sym-bol of the Ger-manic roy-alty whose name spread through-out Europe, if I remember correctly.)

[sandmanstaysawake]

I'm sure there is. I'm distantly related to Cpt. Cook of the Mayflower, Hernando Cortez...OH my first cousin is DJ Swamp who used to tour with Beck. Mixed the song "Loser"

[leo967846]

He is my 3rd cousin.
Now you see why I like Daft Punk so much.

[Digital-Terror]

I'm a descendant of the Dunne family. Over time, "Dunne" changed into "Brown", my Mother's surname.

They didn't do anything special, and their Wikipedia page doesn't tell much, but they do have a website.

[The-Great-One]

Nope. My family sucks.

Chances are if I become famous they will leech off of me.

[pyromaniac616]

Other than the fact cadburys is descended from my family? Here, have this, my 14th great grandfather

Sir John Harrington

Oh, by the way, HE was the one who invented the original flushing toilet, known as the Water Closet.

Found out by my mom, who is a geneologist. (Someone who searches family history)

Well, technicly cadburys is descended from an ancestor, the 1st quaker of some farm somewhere. Can't remember who.

[Kittykylie]

Yup, my sis. She had her tits out in the daily star being called a lesbain. And mum says im the disappointment.

[Sensationalism]

I'm related to this guy. Statue of him ftw.

[StrangelyMauled]

Well, Patrick Henry is my very distant relative, so there.

[blazer133]

Yes. My great great (great?) was the one who named the ross sea.

[blazer133]

I forget how many greats there are. but yea my grandfather (and all those greats) named that sea.

[reverend]

I think I'm descended from this guy but I'll have to ask some family to make sure.

[Nosferatu-of-Worms]

I'm not related to anyone famous (as far as I know), but the guy who shot Dimebag Darrel was from my town.

[andhination]

Trying to track down all the Smiths I might be related to would be fucking retarded.

[Jonners]

I almost definatley do.

[Rottenberry]

Walt Disney. Him and Mickey used to touch me in special places.

[LOLZILLA]

My fathers cousin was a football (soccer) player with some high profile teams and a rule in the modern game is in place because of him. My cousin also brews beer and has been on television a few times because of it.
