Hi, i just wanted to know if anyone is related to any interesting people, historical people or famous people. I have 2 aunts who are related to the Hatfields and Mccoys. I'm not sure on what side though.

but thanks for asking

As for me not really. But one day at a family reunion he was talking about our family history. He said that one of the family members back in the 20s. Might have been a Polish Princess but he wasn't sure. X3

I'm supposedly an ancestor of Sir Robert peel.

I'm related to some guy who lived next to George Washington.

I heard a rumor that my family on my moms side is related to the james boys in some odd way (their cousins or something) but im not sure if thats true or not.

^^ That's wild. Supposedly on my mom's side of the family we're related to Jesse and Frank James.....I haven't done any research to find out if it's true.

I have an ancestor who was one of Quantrill's Raiders. He likely knew the James', Andersons, and Youngers to an extent. Thats the best I can come up with right now.

I have heard that I am related to German Royalty that gambled away his castle.

My maiden name is Martin.. and on my dad's side.. John and Johanna Martin who were the founders of the Martin family of New England in early 1630. This same John Martin accompanied Sir Frances Drake on the famous voyage around the world. John's brother's Christopher and William helped outfit the Mayflower for the voyage that ended at Plymouth Rock. They were all members of the Mayflower band and were part of the first Thanksgiving party of 1621. This information was researched and confirmed by my great grandfather many years ago

All of your family history is so interesting. I can only trace my family back to the late 1700's. I hope i can search even further!

nope, I'm first nations. Although there is a book written on my grandmother. So she's kinda famous.

im related to both william wallace on my mothers side.. and to banjo patterson (famous australian poet, who penned out national anthem as well as many other stories) on my dads side

my ancestors are Javanese prince

My fathers side...Stone Wall Jackson.

The Faulkenhausers?

^^

That name sounds kind of familiar, but I am not totally sure if that is it.


P.S. I heard that all European royalty is related to Charlemagne, does antbody know if this is true?

hehee-cool topic
on my mothers side,
bonnie parker is my great "grand aunt" and down the lines it runs into quanah parker,but he had 13 kids so, its kinda hard to trace the exact relatives..

on my fathers side,
well, its hard to trace his lines too, but my grandmother said we were related to belle starr some how.

apparentley i got some outlaw blood running through my redeyes'

I asked My Dad and he said that thier name was Von Peisker, but the title was lost in the gamble, so now its just Peisker.

LMAO! My family has a similar situation! Only it was a scottish castle. . .but its now back in family possession, but its basically just ruins now. . .

I'm related to John Glenn (the senator. . .isn't that what he is?) but its on my dad's father's side of the family and no one really talks to any of them any more because my grandma and him got divorced. . . and Sir Francis Drake. .. and the scottish lord mentioned above. . .those are all on my dad's side. . .unfortunately, on my mom's side, I'm related to hitler totally not my fault, so don't be mean to me because of it....

You can't pick & choose who are relatives are, SweetSalem.

XD I know that I can't.

President Andrew Jackson is one of my ancestors, though given his "track record" I'm not so proud of it.

You mean the track record with the native americans? Even though i'm native american, i won't hold it against you muddpuppy! I read through one of my ancestors records who was in the civil war. Apparently he was in some famous battles including the surrender of the confederate president.

I'm related to Francis Scott Key, ya know the guy that wrote the Star Spangled Banner, on my dad's side somehow

By law I am technically related to the Wright brothers.
