Artemis Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 My grandpa owns a car lot and has local commercials, so everyone knows him (and lots know me b/c he's made me be in the commercials :roll eyes:) Um...let's see...my aunt by marriage touched Elvis' hair! :laugh: I suppose I should look into that some more. I'd certainly like to know. Oh yeah, my great-grandmother was Cinderella. (Ask me sometime, she [I]really[/I] had a true life Cinderella story!)

Drix D'Zanth Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Megumi [/i] [B]I'm related (in some way) to Robert E. Lee, and I have Swedish royalty in my ancestry. That's all I know. [/B][/QUOTE] You live in Virginia? Cause if you do.. you are SOMEHOW related to Lee, it just takes a bit of a search.. but it's there. I found out I may be related to Adam and Eve. On my dad's side, my grandpa's side to be more specific is related to the Archduke Ferdinand... the inadvertent instigator of WW1... My mother's side is heavily Corsican, and apparently I'm somehow related to Napoleon Boneparte.... *shudders*.. too cool to be true, I bet. My mom's dad's side is an almost direct descendant to Besckhy Smydra.. apparently a King of Poland, I'll look up more later. (He was a really drall king, if I recall correctly.. he didn't do really ANYTHING... at all...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I don't think I'm related to anyone famous, unfortunetly, but a friend of my dad lent some of the cars that were shown in [I]Gone in 60 Seconds[/I] and met Nicolas Cage. That has nothing to do with relations though. -_-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Samedi Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Considering the fact, most of you here are thick, short-sighted Americans (:p) You won't know what I am, but clever, far sighted Australians, my great great grand uncle is Sir John Forrest, fist premier of Western Australia, and some other stuff. My dads mothers mum was some mega-rich jew, but my dads mum and her mom didn't get on, so they split communicaions :( I could be rich otherwise...

SO lots of money for him. And he is teaching younger Kids or coaching my Freshmen team. Our team is going to be great if he keeps it up.

Megumi Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Double_B_Daigo [/i] [B]Wow, you guys are lucky. Specially you, Avalon. I'm not related to any famous people, but my grandparents own a large hotel in Rethmemno Crete in Greece and my uncle owns "Pizza Time" in Bennetsville, South Carolina. It emblem is a pizza with clock hands. I'm sure none of you have heard of it, so well....crap... My family line is Greek, so they probably gp back to Greek warriors. I think my grandpa showed me a family tree of some sort and it showed a Greek Warrior in the old days, so, hey, Heroics! [/B][/QUOTE] *Gasp* You mean middle of no where Bennetsville, South Carolina? My Aunt and Uncle own a bed and breakfast there. No one ever seems to know where it is... And Vash's girl, my middle name is Lee as well, though not because of my connection with Robert E. Lee. It's from some friend of the family I never met before she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 [color=#707875]Apparently I am a direct descendent of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet. This information came about because my aunt on my dad's side actually went to Britain to "study the family tree". So I don't know what the story is there...but I do know that my aunt on my mother's side has one of Robert Burns' original books. It's very old...as in, well over 100 years old. Other than that, I know that a woman on my mother's side was a famous nurse in the battlefield during World War I. I think she had a hyphenated last name...but I don't remember it, unfortunately; though I have seen pictures of her. I can't think of anyone else that I'd consider "famous" though. My family heritage is very broken up, anyway. I have grandparents from Wales, a great aunt from Germany and a great aunt from Japan. In any case, it's interesting to think about your family history. I discovered a lot of interesting things from my aunt, which I never knew. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
