Are You Related to Any Historical Figure?

Related to a Founding Father? Or a European King? Or were your ancestors directly affected by any large-scale events in history? Like the Holocaust or a War?

Tell us!!!

My greatgreatgreatgreat x239048 uncle was the first man to get away with murder and plead temporary insanity. He killed Francis Scott Key's son, because he believed that he was having an affair with his wife. So he shot him. The son of the man who wrote the American Nation Anthem. And he got away with it because he was CRAZYYYY!!!

No I'm not related to anyone known like that. However, it's pretty insane.

I'm related to one of the judges who put five women to death during the Salem Witch Trials.

I'm related to Russian royalty (:

I don't know exactly who, but I do :XD

Make Me Beautiful.:

I'm related to one of the judges who put five women to death during the Salem Witch Trials.

That's so cool :yah

Haha.

Apparently I'm distantly related to one of the Scottish kings. Woot.

I wish I was related to somebody cool from history...
Alas, being the grandaughter of a cooky old woman who drinks like a fish and speed whilst running stop signs will have to do for now... :tehe:

I'm not sure, but there's two rumors in my family - Ned Kelly and Jesse James.
:XD

All my decendants will be proud to be related to me. Well, if I go down in history that is...

^ Your grandma sounds fun :) [edit] slow... for comment before last

I know someone called Jessie James. Ha ha ha [/edit]

Apparently if we go back, we are related to some French soldier during the revolution. :shifty

I'm not entirely sure if I am, but I know my friend is related to a Spanish Princess. :tehe:

I think my mom's grandmother was somehow related to the Kennedy Boy's great-grandmother.
It's really fuzzy, but I think it still kinda counts...
Haha.

My great-great-great times a hundred grandfather helped found the town I live in...
If that counts. :XD

It's not long along like most of these, but my great grandfather was a really popular musician in the 1920's and wrote a really famous song called "The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round." He was a pretty cool dude.

Bahaha , my family's so screwed up , we don't even know the real name of my great grandmother , so even if I was related to someone special , I'd have no way of knowing :XD

I'm a direct descendant of Henry II. :shock:

I'm a direct decendant of the Native American guy on that Iwo Jima statue. I think that's pretty cool. Oh, and Thomas Jefferson. Related distantly to him, too.

I can't remember everyone who I'm related to, but I'm related to Ulysses S. Grant. He was a president. :shifty I don't know if that's cool or not.

Irish dudes. That's my history.

That and some line that goes into the Concentration Camps and stuff but we don't know very much about that.

The guy who invented Blackpool Rock.
I'm not even joking.
