    My first and middle have people asking if I'm related to whoever started up the Sara Lee brand (yes that's my name, I hate it) and I was often asked about getting free cheesecakes and whatnot throughout school.

    "Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee!"

    I am related to Jesse James. And in the non related department, my sister is a nurse in Nashville and was with both June and Johnny Cash before they died. She had had Johnny once before when he had some surgery. She said they were both extremely nice people.

    My step-dad's nephew (so my cousin) is Brandon Weeden, former Oklahoma State football star and current starting quarterback for the Browns. More of a big deal here in Oklahoma, but we are all very proud of him :)

    And we have been traced back to Jim Thorpe.

    I am distantly related to Wilhelm II of Germany (German Emperor during WWI) on my mother's side. This pretty much means that I think I'm related to a lot of European royals because they all liked to intermarry back then. I know I'm related to Queen Victoria somehow because Wilhelm II was her grandson.

    Al Capone on my fathers side and Ashley Lilley (from Mamma Mia) on my moms side. My dad does a lot research in our family ancestry! (though the above two are quite close)

    I don't think I am related to any "famous" but I am pretty sure my grandmother's family was part of the mafia, straight off the boat Italians who never ever talked about anything unless they were in a group of 4 or 5 in a completely separate room all smoking cigars and talking with their hands. There was also a mysterious "Uncle Louie" that no one ever saw either?

    I'm related to Rebecca Nurse and Whitey Bulger (but I usually don't tell anyone that because it's nothing to be proud of. And actually no one that knows me knows). Based on where I am from, neither of those relations are outlandish.

    Jan Brady (Brady bunch) on my mom's side and Brittany Spears on my Dad's side. (I would doubt the Brittany relation, but my dad would have no reason to WANT to be related, so pretty sure he's telling the truth.)

    Your mom! HAHAHAHAHAHA, still funny after all these years.

    HAHAHA :laugh: You made my day with this....I'm glad someone has similar humor to me because when I say....your mom....people around here don't appreciate it as much.

    Thanks for the laugh! :flowerforyou:
