James Carville is my fifth cousin.
My ancestors founded Carville, Lousianna.
My great grandfather was a Philadelphia boxing commissioner or promoter or something.

Descended from the fabled "Old King Cole", who was in fact a merry old soul indeed. He outlived all of his children and most of his grandchildren (life expectancy was mid-thirties at most in his time)
Also got other royalty family members in my family tree, but I won't go further into it.

I wouldn't say famous, but I am related to people who founded a town a bit south of where I live called 'Blackburn'. I am also related to a man who received a 'distinguished flying medal' in World War I - or something along those lines. I'm not quite sure, I had done a ton of research for an assignment that I did over two years ago now, which my teacher has not given back to me yet, lol.

I'm a descendant of Wild Bill Cody and Atilla the HUn. B) Yay, HUNGARIAN!

Brian Boru, a high king of ancient Ireland, a distant relation to John F. Kennedy (before he formed his own, Brian Boru was part of the clan Pres. Kennedy descended from), and apparently my mom's family has a relation to Roy Rogers, the old cowboy actor. :)

My ancestors helped make Texas a state, and thus had Allen, TX named after them. I'm also related to Ashton Kutcher.

I am related to Thandie Newton by marriage on my father's side (don't ask me exactly how it works, I'm unsure x3).
She's been in films such as: Mission Impossible 2, Crash, Run Fatboy Run, and 2012.

I'm related to a Noble named Robert Ernstrom or something along those lines who came to America with William Penn.

My great Grandpa from my mom's side was a writer for an old tv show who wrote manuscripts for movies on the side, and although he put a few out to big companies, they never took one of his ideas D: my grandma's brother also tells me that in their old house the garage was filled with manuscripts. To this day no one from my moms side knows what happened to those manuscripts >.>
