I just want to see who here on the escapist has somebody well known in their gene pool

I'm related to the outlaw Jessie James

not to be confused with the Jessie and James of Pokemon fame.

I am a direct descendent of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Nope, but my old man went to school with Bruce Lee...

 

[Stilkon]

Well, my sister's a direct descendant of Isaac Newton (see, we had different dads). I was SO CLOSE to being related!!!

 

[Taham]

I may as well be called Joe Bloggs for all my famous ancestry.

 

[Thaluikhain]

"I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmic primordial atomic globule. Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it."

...

I am a direct descendant of William the Conqueror. Also, so is Yahtzee...and most of Western Europe.

 

[Slash Dementia]

My grandfather was in some Spanish trio in the US, and they would come out on TV and the radio. I don't remember the name, though.

I don't know about anyone else.

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

My family on my mothers side are descendants of the earls who ruled Ireland and fought the British. They also fled shortly afterwards in the flight of the earls I believe.

 

[Antitonic]

An ancestor of mine has a statue on the English coast somewhere, because he was apparently an awesome privateer. Also has a local holiday named after him as well.

So famous and historical, yes. Well known, not exactly.

 

[BanicRhys]

Well I'm famous, does that count? Other than that, not that I know of.

 

[KiruTheMant]

A very vauge blood relation to Z.Z. Top, or namely, Billy Gibbons.

 

[TheIronRuler]

I have a few family members that were a part of the capture of the Tzar and his family.
So... no.

 

[DazBurger]

Well... Since all blue-eyes people have common ancestors... I guess.

 

[Saltyk]

I very distantly related to Jefferson Davis. He was the President of the Confederate States of America. Not something I'm proud of. Did I mention that it was a very distant relation? I think I'm actually descended from his brother or something. Not sure you could call it a relation, really. Forget I said anything.

 

[gewata]

I may or may not be related to the painter John Constable as we have the same surname.
I can't paint and I can't be asked to find out so hey.

 

[Disturbed_Smurf]

I am a direct descendant of Ned Kelly on my fathers side, so i guess I'm Aussie convict through and through.
