Anyone related to famous people?

I was just wondering if anyone else was. :P
My Great, great uncle was a German opera composer, Friedrich Von Flotow. Germans may know him. :D

Second picture down, that's the family house. :DD
Just felt like sharing... anyone else related to famous peeps?

Kind of...My mom's dad's great grand-father was a famous Russian general in the war against Napolean...something like that...lol...It goes WAAAAY back...and my mom's grandfather is also a semi-famous Russian artist and writer...

John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch and Alexander Cummings are both related to me...Cummings less so but I am definitely related to 'Red Comyn'. I could have been related to a King of Scotland AND apparently I read that my ancestors had quite a vested interest in the English throne too.

Remember the Battle of Inverurie!

Also I just remembered - Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming. The first director of the Secret Intelligence Service...MI6.

Thomas Paine (writer of 'the common sense' and 'the crisis')

william jennings bryan- vice president of the US back in the day

and supposedly a distant bloodline to Wiliam of Orange.

I'm not related to anyone famous, but my mother was telling me the other day about a few times Dio called her house as a kid. It seems my Aunt Nancy hung out with him for a time. :|

So thats where our fucking Stone went...

My kids will be Serry's kids! Big honour for them!

Only distantly and nobody anyone's probably ever heard of. Old western legends the 'Younger Brothers' apparently were some relation, and my dad's cousin was June Haver, who married Fred McMurray, Ironically my dad had 3 sons too.

And we're also apprently somehow related to the dude who invented Menthalatum.

The fact that I probably mispelled a few things here shows how distant they are and how little I care :-P

According to my Mom's side of the family I'm related to both Napolean Bonaparte and Aaron Burr.

Raaaad...

My grandfather played international football.

He was well known at the time but nobody really celebrates right backs

Dio - like - RONNIE JAMES DIO!?

Dan, you won this one! :)

Some people say I look a lot like God.

We're probably all related to Kevin Bacon.
