I was just doing some genealogy stuff today on ancestry.com. I saw a button to click on to see if anyone famous is related to my relative. Well, I got a huge surprise. Let's see:

Presidents Harrison, Teddy Roosevelt, Reagan and Kennedy
Margaret 1 of Denmark
Isaac Newton
Sir Walter Scott
Norman Rockwell
Mae West
Bess Truman
Audrey Hepburn
Anna of Russia who was the Duchess of Courland
Laurence Olivier
Robert Louis Stevenson
Von Varian
Catherine the Great
and Peter Alekseyevich who was a Russian Emperor

My husband always told me that if you go back far enough, you will find you are related to just about anyone! Guess this proves that.


On another side Pretty Boy Floyd and Jimmy Hoffa were related. Not that I would want to claim them.

This is a fascinating hobby.

Wow! As far as I know my ancestry just includes Vikings. :)

Heh, my Daddy always said that we were distant kin to Jesse James. His maternal grandmother's maiden name was James, but I never knew much else about his family other than some of their names.
