Who else has famous relations?? I'd love to hear about them!

amymom replied: Well, I am first generation irish-american, and noone famous in this bloodline. But my children are 14 great grandchildren of William Bradford, who was the governor of Mass when they began Thanksgiving. He and others in their past came over on the Mayflower. My MIL is a Hastings which is a very old American name. There was a ship named after her great (don't know how many greats) grandfather. The Warren Hastings. He had somehting to do with India and Britian.

maestra replied: I can't remember exactly why, but I am related to pres Harry Truman. I know it is through my Mom's father, but from there I don't know.

Kaitlin'smom replied: My mother told us we have a connection to Pocahontas?? I am not totaly sure how. Also we have ties to history in our state there was a city that was named after our ancestors but later got changed. We are even named in a book

luvbug00 replied: Pocahontas? That is soo cool! She was my favorite old time heroine! Mr. dumas is french afarican (i think. Deffinitly afarican and a Bi-racial) Somwhere in there the italians came in because her fraternal grandfathers last name is Bruno.

I think Being on the mayflower makes you famous! Oh I've heard of the Warren Hastings before!

And Truman the former pres. That is some very famous bloodline!!

Thanks for sharring!

lisar replied: The most famous person I am related to is the sheriff of the town where I live. Nothing major but hey it gets me out of tickets and anytime the cops are called they always side with us cause thier boss is related to me.

redchief replied:
My maternal great grandmother swears they could trace their bloodline all the way back to Pocahontas too... I have no concrete proof of this and wouldn't know how to go about it. We have a set of silver that dates to the late 1700's that supposedly is proof of this. My eldest daughter will get this heirloom when she reaches adulthood.
