    Sir William Alexander, First Earl of Sterling.

    on a side note:
    My mom was pissed when I started wearing a kilt, said I wasn't even of Scottish decent. Then one day, I found a link of DAR, and it filled in a hole, and them bam bam bam bam suddenly I had the lineage all the way back.

    My family was on this side of the pond early, and my gggg lost count grandfather got his land around here from Jackson after the war. And aside from a jaunt up to Michigan (in two different generations!) we've been here ever since.

    Also, there is a road named for my great uncle, and my son thinks its funny when we go past Alexander dr.

    Colomb is the Americanize English spelling of Columbus so there is a pretty good chance we are related. Nephews traced the family back into France 1800's so far.

    Some guy who plays Hockey in the NHL - he used to play for the Panthers now I have no idea where he plays lol I don't know his name because i don't talk to that side of the family... apparently his mom is my dad's cousin or something. It was never anything I really cared about honestly.


    Oh and the Kesslers whom do the "Kessler Bull's" for Rodeos - don't know if they are really famous.. but it is what it is.

    On my Father's side, the famous Mrs O'Leary who was infamously credited for starting the Great Chicago Fire. (Figures since I am a natural clutz, LOL) Also, apparently cousin to Minnie Pearl of Hee Haw fame. :)

    On my Mom's side not sure but definitely Mafia ties way back. Ma's family is well know in Chicago and her Dad was a close friend of Al Capone and hid him alot of times from the cops.

    And people wonder why I am such a Chicago chick. :D

    Brad Pitt's mom's maiden name is the same as my rather rare last name, so maybe somewhere down the line...

    Welll.... my cousin Darcy was a Toronto Maple Leaf for a few years... (pro-hockey player). We're not close though... to tell the truth, he's kind of an @ss.
