My grandfather knew the person who invented kool-aid ....0

My mother's side is absolutely certain that we are related to Buffalo Bill Cody ( wild wild west show). I also had a set of great great grandparents who wanted to book passage on the Titanic for her maiden voyage but tickets were sold out and they had to book for the next cruise liner.0

I'm related to Glen Campbell the singer, he is my grandfather's cousin. (My maiden name is Campbell fyi and if you look at my grandfather and uncles they all have the same chin and the same shaped face.)
More interestingly Bonnie Parker, as in Bonnie and Clyde. She was my grandmother's cousin.
Also, I have a direct link to Charles Darwin through my Grandmother's side as well. His daughter married one of my greatgreatgreatgreat uncles or something. We recently did a family tree. lol I think it's more interesting that I'm related to a man who was 7'11 who lived in the 1800's. There are several newspaper clippings and family accounts comfirming it. lol Can you imagine how people thought he must have been a giant?0 -
Seems like everyone I know swears they are related to someone famous in history. I know people who think they are related to the Queen of England, Adolph Hitler, Jessie James(the outlaw) etc...
So, who do you THINK you are related to as it pertains to famous people in history?

David Sol is my distant cousin.. Also, a NYC detective that worked on the Jack the Ripper case for over 10 years called us a few years back and is about 100% positive my great, great, great grandfather was the mass murderer. There's a lot of mental illness in my family, plus the time line matches up along with other evidence. Sounds insane and people often debate to me about it, but I have nothing to prove. : )0

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.
I'm a direct descendent of Edward Fuller (and son Samuel) of the Mayflower, as well
Also descended from William the Conqueror, and 'Bad King John' Lackland of England...the one nobody liked0 -
Obama. Okay just kidding... but we have the same birthday so that's got to count for something.
I know for a fact I'm related to my mom. True story. :ohwell:0 -
Yay for house of York AND Lancaster! But really, royalty back then were inter-married or had out of wedlock kids.. lots of 'em.
However, I like that many of my relatives on both side of my family settled New Kent and Nansemond, VA. and surrounding areas in the early 1600s One from each side actually grew up a county apart at the same time. The families migrated West to KS and MO and then approx. the same time from KS/MO to the same small town in southern cali just south of S.D.0 -
