What famous people are you related to?

My grandma on my fathers side has always said we were related to Thomas Paine. And on my mothers side Bonnie Parker.

Uh oh! me too. I think it was my great-grandmother that was a James. And.. that side of my family spent some time in the Missouri Ozarks.

JAS, do you have genealogy info on the James family?

Not related to anyone famous that I know of, though if I would trace the family back I might just find one...but, My great aunt witnessed John Dillinger being shot and killed in Chicago so to me I guess she is famous...I also went fishing with Willie Mays back in 66 when my dad was appointed to show him around NASA. I have met, but dont remember most because I was quite young, John F. Kennedy, Alan Shepard, John Glenn and many more that I cant think of...

im related to Czar Nicholas ( no me being named Nicholas has nothing to do with him i dont believe but it is a family name so who knows) he was the last Czar of russia and was killed. On my dads side im related to the family Mccoy from " the Hatfields and the Mccoys". my great grandmother is a Mccoy. for any one who doesnt know who these two familys are type in their names and read. to put it shortly its two country family ( and i mean country) who live on two diffrent hills and shoot at each other. from what i have heard through family members there are still some fights going on but the gun fire has stoped except for way up in the moutain

Not sure who he is but if its something not family freindly lets behave ;)

I dont think anyone really.. Aside from two former presidents- one died after being in office for not so long because he had the longest (or it was at the time at least) speach when he enterd the whitehouse- and he died because he got sick when he did that.. And the other one was his brother, or cousin, or something.. I'd have to call my grandma and ask their names... lIronicly, its not the one with my last name. lol.
