Well My family used to own an island in the bahama's and ran a bannana plantation there untill the spanish american war. After that they where just rich NYC ariitocrats who blew the family fortune. Some where I have a copy of the family tree my great aunt did and on my moms moms side of the family we came over on the mayflower if that counts. Also some how or another on my maternal grandfathers side of the family Im related to the guy that invented Pringle Chips. Thats about it for me. I have met other celebrities and what not but am not realted to any.

Here's a funny one. The music playing in the Slim Jim snap fairy commercials before the guy crashes his bike/snowboard/skateboard or whatever, is my husband's band. :

Oh and he was also an extra in the Doors movie. You can see him for about, one second.

We can't go anywhere now, the paparazzi you know...

Heard Jeff Davis's last home..the one in New Orleans is gone now.

Betsy Ross is supposedly one of mine.

No way!!!! My great-grandmother was the "Betsy Ross of the Confederacy" She was @ 15/16 and already a highly accomplished seamstress. A Confederate officer heard about her and asked her to make a flag. I actually have an official certificate that documents me as a "Child of the Confederacy." I think it's the Second Confederate Official Flag you see on the link below, but it may be the Third; my father has a copy but it's all wrapped up. . .
And I'm related to Ellizabeth Barrett Browning . . . sigh. . . and my brother is married to a Canadian actress (they live in LA) and he designs totally cool sculptural lights based on Japanese aesthetic made of steel frames and Japanese papers and fabrics which he sells to famous people like Bruce Willis for thousands of thousands of dollars. . . I LOVE my anonymity!!!
