    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.

    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.

    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

    Hmmm... 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.

    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.

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    Is it possible for one to be related to oneself?

    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!

    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.

    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.

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