The old topic got closed, but i was interested

Im realated to 2 famous ppl, Louis Riel (fifth cousin) and the man who invented the electric kettle (great grandpa)

 

[x/C.h.e.l.l.e-<3]

I'm related to Gordon Lightfoot, like, distant cousins though. He was a First or second Cousin to my Grandpa's Mom or something like that.

Louis Riel? Haha we're studying about him in history class 8D

I don't think I'm related to anyone extremely famous.

 

[Keanitchi]

You are! haha thats cool, PM me if need any info (tell them you have 'connections' ) oh and who is Gordan lightfoot? pardon my ignorance but ive never heard of him before

 

[Colortchi]

[Emmelyn]

He's a popular-ish singer who is famous for singing the song 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

not that I expect you to have ever heard that song xD

 

[GotchiGirl96]

I don't think I'm related to a famous person. D;

 

[LOUDERnow.]

I'm not related to anyone famous. Yet. :]

 

[Sweet Kandi]

He's not famous, but he's in the National Archives.

My Great Great Grandfather was the Captain of a British vessel called Emily Lloyd. It went down in 1899.

I searched my last name on the dictionary and I saw my last name there! =D

My last name - Manuel Deodorada (1827-92), Brazillian general, leader of the revolt which overthrew (1889) the monarchy, and first president (1889-91) of the republic.

My classmate's dad is on Google. His so lucky.

EDIT: Yeah. Emmelyn you're right! Thanks!

I don't think having the same last name makes you automatically related. Especially since a lot of American last names came from the profession you were in or who you were the child of.

ex. Smith, Davidson, Johnson, etc.

I don't know about last names of other nationalities but I'm also going to assume that same last name doesn't make you automatically related.

Not reaaally, I don't think. Being famous isn't really a family gene.

But---my brother is in an awesome band, has several singles on iTunes, and is making a filmclip.

If you're interested, google ''Fire! Santa Rosa Fire!'' and that should come up with something.

He's the synth player.

 

[x.P O K E R F A C E]

My grandpa, like, invented the snakebite.

Andy Clemmensen can thank him.

But he's not known for it. xD

 

[~Pokemon*Mew~]

I might be related to Dale Earnhardt, who was a famous NASCAR race-car driver. xP

Other than that, I dunno. I think it would be amazing if I found out that I was in a close relation to a member of one of the bands I like. I don't plan on it, but... That'd still be pretty cool. 8D

I am related to one of the first people in England to own a car. :3

And, more car related, I am a direct descendant from the Benz family. [German car firm, Mercedes-Benz].

No notable 'current' peoples.

 

[paper*cut]

Apparently on my dad's side I'm related to some dude who planned an assassination against Napoleon.

But then again my Nana did like to tell tall-tails.
