    I'm related to one of the founders of Chicago, John Kinzie, he's got a wikipedia page and everything. And, I'm related to Juliette Gordon Low aka "Daisy", the founder of the Girl Scouts, through my mom's side. She was born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon, which is proof enough for me since that spelling of "Kinzie" is rare and sort of confined to my family and a street in Chicago named after John Kinzie I think.

    As far as I know, this is all pretty well documented.

    On my mom's side I'm related to Alexander Hamilton and The Roosevelt's. I remember when I was little, my grandmother had an invitation to a party at the White House that was for Alice Roosevelt.
    My grandmother also had the family tree's hanging on the wall as well, that way she could show everyone how we were related to them. :smile:

    I'm adopted. I could be related to ANYONE.

    I know anything about my father including his last name until I was an adult. Given my twisted sense of humor, if I still didn't know anything about him, I think I would have created a family tree composed of my hero's (ie Wu Zetian, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Boadicea, Jane Adams, Margaret Sanger) and adopt them all as my relatives on my paternal side! My husband had an elderly, single, very independent female relative who family rumor claimed earned her money as a 'madam', who I would also love to be able to 'claim' as a blood relative.

    Sorry I meant to say "I didn't know anything about my father"
