What famous people are you related to?

P.T. Barnum.

(If you knew me, you'd find it funnier :) )

The only famous person i can think of that i'm related to is the late inventor Harry Ferguson. He was a first cousin of my great grandfather.

Apparently he revolutionised farming. Here's a wee link to a short biography of him

Cool thanks for sharing :gj:

I am not related to anyone famous. My great-uncle served in the Civil War and rode in the cavalry.
My husband is friends with Nathan Quarry, a famous UFC fighter. And my landlord is friends with Gary Busey!

My mom claims this about us, too. But I hear a lot of people claim it. Did he sleep around a lot? :rofl:

Also my uncle is a big time producer for Sony Pictures out in LA.

I can't believe that you would mention Marlo but not Danny. Marlo was just Danny's daughter. The big producer must be Uncle Tanoose.
