my uncle was in the CIA.. and he was the one who designed the stealth bomber... and he designed the 'reader' that was later sold to apple computers by his partner which made the first graphical computer.... (He's done several other things as well up until lucimia took his life back in 1994)

My grandpa was a top engineer and he engineered the 'digger' that was put on the moon to collect samples of the moon..

one of my cousins is an actor (you can see him on that 'underwear energiser commerial')

these are all from my mom's side... (there's others as well)

my dad's side is untrackable since his parents changed their last names to what it currently is when they came to the US during WW2 to make them sound more american....

[nathalie]

Not "real" royals, but as we say here: people with "bleu blood" (don't know that expression in English)

Kenyi, "mutt" is the tenichal term for an animal of mixed breed/heritage. It's most commonly heard to describe a mixed breed dog, though.

[Darkslash]

Hmmm.... related to anyone famous... not that I can think of...

There's probably someone back in Ireland or Germany though that I'm related to... maybe they're famous...

Oh, there is a franchised Hallmark's store chain with our last name! (and it's a pretty rare last name too) They don't give us a discount, though.

My dad is pretty "important" in his particular field... though I wouldn't say famous.

Roquivo, we ARE animals. ;)

I know. Breed and Race are actually synonims. Just for different species. Therefor, it works for humans of mixed races too.

Hey I'm Irish, American, Scottish, German, Spaniard and Mexican w00t I'm a mutt too!:cheese:

I'm a reative of Clark Gable, the male lead in "Gone with the Wind". I'm of German, English, and Sweedish background. I'm also the descendant of some of the first mennonites. I'm may not be of that faith, but I am still proud of that fact.

[Lion Roar]

I don't know if I'm related with somebody famous. I think I'm not.

BTW, I'm descendant of Italians, but I also have some Spanish and French ancestors.

[Tigereyes]

I'm not sure if I have a famous ancestor. I do know that I have German, French, Irish, and American. I'm sure there's more but I don't know :cheese:

[unregistered user]

Hmmm... :thinks: My ancestors came from Spain, Germany, England and ancient Mexico.

A member of my mother's family was a 6-month-long-period President of Mexico during Santa Ana's government (in that government there were like 40 temporal presidents).

A member of my father's family helped a band of rebels and tried to murder Albaro Obregon, President of Mexico after the Mexican Revolution.

[Darkslash]

^ Mexican history is fascinating :)

[Green_Eyes]

Ray Eberle - Singer

Everyone else has like super famous ancestors, haha! Really cool how people are related and stuff....maybe it's just me who's interested in that. (probably not)

[Aurelian]

I am not related to him, but I used to live down the street from Harrison Ford's(Indiana Jones) brother. Never did meet him though. :grrr:

[Green_Eyes]

Haha

Hugh Heffner's son lives by my school, he hates his dad though. We go caroling by there but he's never about...

[nafklt]

Is it possible for one to be related to oneself? :confused:

[Darkslash]

Nnnnnoooo. You don't consist of two or more separate bodies among which there may be a relation.

Besides, you're not famous so it wouldn't apply anyways!:bleen: :cheese:

[Picklepaige]

Hmmm. I don't think so,but my friend's great grandfather was the leader of the Cherokee tribe. And my dad is part Cherokee,so,I might be related to some people on here.

[Iestyn]

Allegedly I'm related to General George Patton.

[Sombolia]

I don't think I have any famous ancestors :thinks: I'll have to ask my mom tomorrow. :idiot:

My cousin is an actor, my another cousin is a bassist, my ancestors is Related to Muhammad, so part Arabic. Local: Old 17 century Pahang Sultans :p There.. that's all:p

[unregistered user]

Wow Zack, that's pretty impressive! Seems like alot of yalls have pre-ty interesting backgrounds.

I honestly don't have anyone 'famous' on my side. I was digging into some WWII Aircraft Books, left to me by my late Grandfather. Alot of German things and parafanailia he had in there. A picutre from 1943 of a German officer serving the S.S. Last name was Stek , well it is pronounced Stek but I don't think it's spelled like that, but he's a direct link to my ancestors. And we have some pretty famous German pilots in our family. A man named Steven Stek flew with a famous pilot named Navritil. Our family 'Z' is on his plane..somehwere. But, beyond that my knowledge stops at the Civil War. We're related to General Picket *several times removed* and beyond that..I have no idear. I always tried to get information like this from my Gramps but, being a country apart has it's issues lol. That's my ancestor report.

:ayecapn:

[Nicoga]

Pretty cool, Utora. I love aviation! And Tiikeri, my history class was reading about Gen. Patton today. Nice, nice.

My family is somehow related to Gen. Robert Lee from the Civil War. A diiiiistant cousin, I think.

[Katse]

I'm related to George Washington.*isactuallyserious*:D

[Bahati]

As I understand it, I have a connection with Samuel Fuller, the doctor aboard the Mayflower.

[Sombolia]

Um.. my cousin, Mitch. He used to be Green Day's travel manager. Oo And he had lots of hand-autographed swag and he DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY.

Er. Yeah. Not even famous, quite sad really.

My mom was close personal friends with Jam Master Jay.. XD

[Amaryllis]

ha i wish i was related to someone, although i met this dutch famous person once... i was in the same restaurant and we had a little chat xD that happend a long time ago...

[Simbaspirit]

*ahem*

Sir Prime Minister William Pitt of England.

and some famous landlord whose house is now a historical tourist site. also in england.

[Sadira]

oo! loveee talking about heritage- eh dont ask. On my mom's side I'm related to the czars of Russia. Then on my dad's side.. our name used to be one of the big names in scotland (but for my privacy ill keep the name itself personal) n there were bunch of lords and ladies that I'm related to and we used to own southern tip of scotland back in wallace's day and built a castle who's name i forget. then there was scandal :confused: n we got poor n moved to america.. go figure..

[Guntur]

I found this thread quite interesting and decided to rise it from the dead.
