Lets hear it, who are you related to?

My great great grandfather on my father's side is John Duffin. You don't know his name but you know his achievements. He was a wealthy industrialist who financed the construction of Wrigley Field in Chicago, as well gave Robert Ripley the loan he needed to get started opening up his exhibit at the World's Fair.

Not so famous, but Mickey Gilley (old country singer who used to be on HeeHaw) is my dad's cousin...I don't remember how far removed, but not really far.

And on my mom's side, my Great Great Grandmother was Minnesota Windsor...yes, from England, and yes, those Windsors. Supposedly she had two brothers that had titles-one a lord and one an earl or some such, in both Scotland and England. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away last year before I could write down all the cool stuff she remembered! :frown:

My dad has a huge book that his uncle paid to have made, that goes back a couple hundred years of family history and the only name i read that might be considered famous was Black Jack Ketchum, he was a train robber.

Rex Harrison was my great, great uncle! Not a massive claim to fame because unless you mention audry hepburn no one seems to know who he was, that and he was a horrid specimin of a human being

I have to say, he may have been a horrid specimen, but between the ORIGINAL Dr. Doolittle and My Fair Lady, I was captivated by him as a child!

My Mother said Chuck Norris came to a family reunion I did not attend. He is married to her cousin.

Oh and my Dad "famously" whipped my *kitten* when I needed it.:drinker:

Rob Roy

Barrack Obama.

I believe it!

Our family actually has a published author who followed our family tree back to John Quincy Adams.

Erik the Red

Ulysses S. Grant(18th President) && Francis Lewis(Signer of United States Declaration of Independence).... && and I have the proof stamped and sealed

probably Thomas Jefferson. Bazinga.

Chuck Norris, for real

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. : )

I'm sorry I have to debate you here just because NYC detective that worked on the Jack the Ripper case? Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick but Jack the Ripper was in 1888, and in Whitechapel, England, Scotland Yard dealt with it and the case was officially closed in 1892 even though the identity of the murderer has never been confirmed, only speculated. Unless there is an american Jack the Ripper case?

As for me no one famous that I know of, however I am a direct descendant of the Sinti so maybe that counts for something haha!

I've been told Jesse James and my great grandma used to have sex

Frankie Muñiz from Malcolm in the Middle
