    Keanu Reeves. He's my third cousin.

    While we're at it, my family reunions are always big because we are direct descendants of King Kamehameha.

    That's rad. About the King Kamehameha.

    I am not related to anyone famous in history. Harold "Champ" Henson is my mom's first cousin but he is only a big deal to OSU football fans.

    My husband's mom is a Hatfield and is a direct decendant of the Hatfield and McCoys.

    I heard I am POSSIBLY related to Mel Ott (Ott is my maiden name) but no one can prove it. My 7th Science teacher even used to call me "Mel"

    If somebody tells you that they're related to Adolph Hitler, they're probably lying. Mostly because it's spelled "Adolf."

    Anyway, I'm related to Joan Carter Cash who was married to Johnny Cash. Pretty awesome!
