If you mean in present times, not really, although 2 of my brothers received Purple Hearts and other such medals during the Korean War and Vietnam War.  My Mom was listed in the who's who for her state and an uncle was listed in the U.S. who's who.

But, since this is genealogy, then Yes, from Charlemagne and various kings, queens, bishops and all that.

But then, so are you and everyone else on this planet.

See the book:  "Mapping Human History: Descovering the Past Through Our Genes" by Steve Olson, wherein on page 47 he states that everyone alive on earth today is descended from Nefertiti, Julius Caesar, and Confucious!

Answer 7

Answer 8

Snap to Janet W,  so is my husband. We were told at Christmas that my husband is related I am still researching that though.

Answer 9

Everyone is related to someone famous, considering that if you go back far enough, we are all cousins.  Being 6th cousin 8x removed to someone is hardly exciting.  What IS exciting is being a direct descendant of someone famous.  Then you can say that so-and-so is your great-grandfather/grandmother and that you have their genes, and you owe your existence to them.

For me, my great-grandfathers include William Byrd (was founder of my hometown Richmond, Virginia, an author, and his home he built is the famous Westover Plantation).  Also, Chief Powhatan, King Edward III of England and all his royal ancestors before him.

Answer 10

Gene Hackman, the actor, is my first cousin three times removed.  

I am also third cousin once removed to Jim Busta, the kick-*** polka king from Spring Grove, Minnesota.

Answer 11

well, acording to ancestry i am related to a bunch. they have something to show famous relations, but they all have turned out false. They are based on One World Tree, which I have found very unreliable.

From my reasearch, I am related to some people who have done important things, but I don;t know if they would be considered "famous" For example, my gr-gr-gr-grandfather was the founder of a small town in Maine.

Answer 12

Distantly to Roger Moore by marriage.  The aunty of his first wife was married to my great uncle Henry. Possibly to Tony Robinson from the time team.  I was looking up the name of my great grandmother and came accross the Robinson family tree.  Much to my amazement part of my family tree was on it.
