i was searching around and i found out that my family coat of arms has a fish on it, and so does my moms side of the family and my grandmothers sid eof the family. maybe its siginificant

and on my grandfathers side, there was a guy that served under William the Conqueror.

yesterday i found out that i am related to Charlamagne, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. its not like he was a distant relative (i.e cousin's cousin's wifes grandfather's and so on and sso forth), i am directly related to him.

My sis is a gold digger and some of her current next door neighbours include Sharon Stone and Nicolas Cage. Leo Di Caprio just rented her beach house over the xmas period - something like US$60K for 2 weeks!
(thats something E! News hasn't heard yet)

My mum worked at an English hair dressing salon in the 60's and did hair for royalty and also Julie Andrews from Sound of Music. My dad was in the same uni course as Mike Jagger (rolling stones) - but Jagger dropped out to pursue his music career.

I can't say if your sister should visit or not I've never been there. Here's their site:

What part of Canada is she touring through?

Speaking of the museum and relatives, this: http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/cardeng.html is my daughter's maternal grandfather....and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trudeau is her great, great uncle.


My direct paternal progenitors were the von Bülows that were the aristocracy of Prussia and later Germany.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiherr_Dietrich_Heinrich_von_Bülow

Also, slightly less closely related to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Bülow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_Bülow


So I guess I have a few relatively 'famous' relatives.
