I'm related to the guy that used to be the long-time PA Announcer for the Boston Red Sox, Sherm Feller. He also wrote the song "Summertime", the one with the complex lyrics...."It's summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime.....etc." Anyway, despite my hatred for the Sox, he was a fixture at Fenway for a few decades. Oh, am also related to the author, Keith Ablow, he writes disturbing psychological thrillers.

I'm not related to anyone famous that I know of, but Catherine Zeta Jones might be my long lost identical twin :wink:
 
In my family tree's book, it says that 3 brothers came over from France - 1 settled in the U.S. and 2 settled in Canada and I'm a descendant of one of the Canadian brothers and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy is the descendant of the American one.

If only I had half her class, elegance and grace!

My grandfather worked for AT&T Bell Telephone [before the big split in the Reaganomics pandamonium] and they hold a patent for the lock on the payphone which he developed. Supposedly it is an unpickable lock.

I wrote my eighth grade research paper on him and I still have the handwritten notes I took for my interview with him. He was so proud when I told him I had to pick someone famous and influential to do a paper on and I chose him. :heart:

I got an A+
 
I have absolutely no idea of what famous ancestors I have, if any. I have not been able to get very far in my family history searches. And that sucks, 'cause I'm really, really curious.

That being said, there is a cousin of mine who's been an extra in a few shows here and there on TV-she and her boyfriend appeared as extras in shows like "The Young And The Restless" and things like that. Also, I could have been related to Frank Sinatra, Jr., as an aunt of mine went to her prom with him when she went to Hollywood High in California. If things had gone further between them, ya know...:p.

And that's really about it for me. At least, from what I know.

The only famous person I know of in my family is on my husbands side... He's the guy who told the Donner party the pass was clear right before they made their infamous trip into the mountains :ohmy: I don't ever ask my husband how the roads are :no:
 
One of my direct ancestors was on the Mayflower. He was a servant. I'm also related to the first cousin of Louis XVI.

Hopefully, someday, I can establish my own fame.
