Do you have any famous relatives?

[beautifulfish]

Does anyone her have a famous relative? I guess the most famous of mine is Jefferson Davis. YA! GO Confederates!...also go yanks!...well..if you don't know who that is then I'll tell you! Davis was the Confederate President during the Civil War(I LOVE books and movies about the Civil War!). OOOO YA! I also forgot about my royal relatives. They lived back in the 1200's so it is distant but I still think it is COOL! My father used to do all that stuf to find out who we are related to. My family is related to Queen Elizabeth(which means Prince Charles..ew) but VERY VERY VERY distantly! lol..oh well..still it's cool!

oh ya! one of my 3-4 cousins works for Bill Gates. He has a mansion himself :thud:

Not to an Irishman its not :sad:

How's this for reaching; the actor Richard Libertini is a distant cousin of mine. I don't know the technical terminology for how it relates to me but I think he's a second cousin of my dad's. He's probably best known as the editor in "Fletch", the crazy dictator in "Deal of the Century", and the guru in "All of Me"

My great-grandfather's long underwear are in the Canadian Museum of Civilization is that worth anything?

 

[beautifulfish]

Beautifulfish...we could be related.....my family name is Buck on my father's side.....came from Norfolk England way back in the 1500s.....Buck was shortened from Buckingham...

My dad's family has been in the states since 1623 and settled in Ct. A group of them formed up and moved to Pennsylvania...(Buck's county)...so...I don't know if that counts for famous or not....lol....I guess Buck is a pretty common name in some parts.
