    Jesse James, the outlaw. On my dad's side. I'd have to ask my grandma for the exact relation, but she did the genealogy for our family tree a few years ago.

    I'm a Mayflower descendant: John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Her father apparently brought crates of shoes for himself but not a single useful tool. I believe that I inherited the family mannerisms for packing for a trip.

    I'm also related to the inventor of the Ferris wheel. By way of my father's mother. Her mother was Julia Ferris and married a Campbell.

    I am also a Mayflower descendant, of William Brewster, elder of the colony and religous leader.

    My maiden name is Mitchum, and supposedly Robert Mitchum is a distant cousin. But I haven't been interested enough to research it.

    Supposedly, I'm a descendant of Henry the VIII's sister on one family line and a descendant to Henry the VIII's cousin in another family line... neither have been proven with documentation.

    At one point, it was reported that I was related to Daniel Boone, but I've completely ruled that one out.

    It was also rumored of a potential shared heritage with Kirk Cameron, but I'm pretty doubtful about that one as well.

    Sadly, it would seem no famous relations, but I encourage people to explore their genealogy. Just because you aren't related to someone famous doesn't mean that there isn't anything interesting about your family. I learned that my ancestors were literally the first family to live in what eventually became the city of Atlanta. Not famous, but interesting.

    I have discovered through Ancestry.com some very interesting ancestors of mine. My 8th GGrandfather was on the jury for the Salem Witch Trials, my 10th GGrandparents and their son, my 9th GGrandfather with the name Fuller came over on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact, then I have 2 grandparents whose lineage takes me back to King Edward and his brother, Edmund, who were the sons of King Henry. This line leads back to Charlegmane. Great thread. It's so interesting.

    Hi! Please don't waste your money on Ancestry.com. Do some real research for yourself. There will come a point that you hit a wall and can't go any further back without travelling, but Ancestry.com just pieces together histories from other users. People make stuff up without relying on documentation. There are better sources for genealogical information.

    I don't know, I see a pretty strong resemblance to a different former teen star. :happy:
