Are you related to anyone famous?

[Luke]

I'm sure that there are a lot of us who share blood with somebody who was either famous, or infamous.
So, share with us who you were related to that is/was famous for something!

I'll start with the uninteresting one.
My mom's cousin was a hypnotist, I never met him but he died about seven years ago in a car accident on the highway, he wasn't famous around the world or anything but he had a good name for himself locally.

The one person I am related to somehow is somebody I am proud to say I share blood with, my Grandmother told me a few years ago that I was related to him and I was shocked.

Jesse James, the OUTLAW!

I'm sure just about everybody who is alive knows who he is, and if they don't, they will hear of him one day I am sure.
I'm not sure how we are related, but she said it was by blood.
Isn't that neat? My ancestors were outlaws, they robbed trains and shit!

[Obvious-M]

Why would you be proud to share blood with Jesse James?

[razorbladesigh]

I'm related to myself. Does that count?

[Drake]

I'm related to a U.S. president who was in office for two months then died. What a shame. I forgot his name, sorry.

I don't know, I guess I just have a strong interest in that stuff and before I knew I was related to him he seemed like a pretty cool guy.

William Henry Harrison I imagine. Died of pneumonia after two months.

I don't know if I'm related to anybody famous in history. One day I'll look up my ancestry.

[CAN-OF-SPAM]

I am related to the guy who was in office before hitler.

[GoryBlizzard]

Only one comes to mind. This former U.S. Congressman, who served in the so-called "Do-Nothing Congress," is my great-grandfather and he died just a little over 8 years before I was born. He was a heavy smoker too, and apparently used to make my dad buy cigarettes for him at a time when stores rarely checked for ID and sold cigarettes to pretty much anyone.

this page happens to be the list of famous people i am related to!

[Lucy]

I dont know, and I dont really care either if I'm honest. I guess it would be cool to know, but I'm not going to go out my way to find out.

[HibiscusKazeneko]

There's speculation that I'm related to Sir Elton John.
So far I can't confirm anything; maybe one day I'll get a DNA test done...

George Steer, a journo and a soldier, died on the last year of the second world war, the unlucky man.

He's a very distant cousin who moved to America quite a while ago.
Still haven't seen that movie, mind.

[NerdLiife]

I have no idea about who i'm related to...

[0Degrees]

Well, can't say I'm related to anyone famous, but my grandfather made a suit for John F. Kennedy, and my cousin used to date a woman from France that used to date Robert De Niro.

[E-2-the-T]

My father is God, does that count?

[Hoeloe]

I'm related to the French Royal Family, and it's probable I'm related to Hugh Laurie.

[TomTheJuggler111]

I don't know, I've never met him in my life.
In fact, I've met very few of my family members.
