Relation to famous people

Hi all ,there,s really to many to list of famous ppl to name so I'll just mention a few .When I started this & this site never had a glue . But knowing ur relatives famous or not makes it all fun & rewarding . Thomas Jefferson 5 th cousin 7 times removed. 2. King Charlemagne 33rd great grandfather 3. King John Lackland 22great grandfather4.King Henry II 20 ggf 5 King Henry III 21 ggf ^.6.King William Longshanks 20 ggf 7.Robert III King of the Scots 3 rd cousin 18 times removed 8.James Madison (President) 10 th cousin 6 times removed 9. William Shakespear 2nd cousin 12 times removed 10. William the Conquer 22 ggf.

interesting I think. maybe john lackland is a ancestor too of mine, but it is maybe through blanche of namur, but it is doubtful that she is a ancestor of my ancestor gustaf vasa.

John Lackland is an direct ancestor of mine as well as his half (illigeterment brother) William Longspree.

I am related to many famous people, as Ernest said, but my favorite relations are to baseball players. I can never get enough baseball and now I have Hall of Famers related to me! Maybe they will pass on their skills to me somehow.

My mother was born a "Lee". It is no surprise to the Lee family members that everyone has heard stories that "We are related to General Robert E. Lee", and then, when it comes to finding documentation for proof, it just plain isn't there.

The most shocking thing we found in genealogy research was that we ARE related to the General, but not a close one, and it is not through my mother's Lee side, it is through my Dad's Curtis/Gordon side!

Also, we are related to Pat Boone, Andy Griffith, several of our past Presidents of the USA, and a host of other famous people.

Genealogy is such a wonderful project and we learn so much not only about our family but of the way of life in their area and era. What a wonderful hobby to have! I simply LOVE genealogy!

Most should note if you are a grandchild of John Lackland (King of England) you are also a direct descendant of Muhammad the Prophet (surprise)

Well, you can't help who your family is!

John Slidell, U.S. Senator is Monique Van Erkel-KÖHLER's great aunt's second cousin's wife's niece's ex-husband's brother's wife's sister's husband's great grandfather

Adriana de Weyden is my 13x Great Grandmother on my Dad's side. She married my 13x Great Grandpa, Rev. John Rogers, the Martyr. Great Grandma Adriana helped to finance the Coverdale Bible which I am thrilled to read about since I have a B. A. in Bible history! WOO HOO!
Dear Ms. Cynthia (above comment), The Holy Prophet Muhammad is my 36x Great Grandfather on my Dad's side and my 42x Great Grandfather on my Mom's side. I first found this out years ago when I was researching Spanish Christians and found a Spanish Christian, a Catholic, sailed across the sea to Morocco and met and married one of my Great Grandmothers, a Moslem, who was descended from the Holy Prophet Muhammad. My Dad's family were Methodists. My Mom's family were Baptists! You could very likely also be related to some other prophets, Ms. Cynthia, as am I, for example the Holy Prophet Abraham, Jew, my 89x Great Grandfather on my Mom's side and the Holy Prophet Isaiah is my 116x Great Grandfather on my Mom's side, 73x Great Grandfather on my Dad's side. The holy Prophet Jeremiah, Jew, is my 89x Great Grandfather on my Dad's side and the Holy Prophet Zechariah, Jew, is my 65x Great Grandmother on my Mom's side. Ms. Beverly, we must certainly be related as William Anderson, Anse, Hatfield is 11x cousin, 6x removed, on my Dad's side, whose mother's mother was a Hatfield! HM King John Lackland is my 24x Great Grandfather on my Mom's side. General Robert E. Lee is my 5x cousin, 8x removed, on my Mom's side. What I find fascinating is that so very many of these "relationships" are my direct lines! WOO HOO!

P. S. President Thomas H Jefferson is my 1x cousin, 7x removed. His dad's sister, Judith, is my 6x Great Grandmother. Whilst researching him and his gardens, I found a signature that reads TH Jefferson. I wonder what the H is for? Hmmm.

The H is for Hewett, his mother's maiden name.

Dear 12x cousin, 3x removed Cousin Vicki! Peaceful greetings, Ma'am. Thank you so very much for sharing this information with me. This "H" has been driving me nuts for years! WOO HOO!

You are very welcome. It just happens that my Dad was always talking about him. Then I decided to learn some things about him as well so I could talk with him about him. He really enticed us to learn things without us knowing what we were doing. He was a great teacher. Taught us many things we did not even realize until much later in life were learning experiences. It was always fun and interesting. Nothing boring ever from Dad.

Not sure if anyone knows Jim Healy but he was a first cousin and he has his own brass star tile on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Very cool!

Queen Elizabeth II is my 15th cousin - through her father.

Yesterday we had a cousin-get together at our house, but she was a no show :-)

as a desendant of charlighmiane i am related to most european kings and queens to this day... however
those leaked pictures from vegas make me less then proud of him but Prince Harry of Wales is my 12th cousin and like Christel Pierson i would also be a desendant of the queen mum.. I wonder what she thinks of her grandson's antics...
LOL

Boudicca, Celtic Warrior Queen is my 54th great grandmother, that explains a lot LOL

Benjamin Franklin is my husband Elon Pierson's fifth great uncle - and my 26th cousin :-)

Hello Anne-Marie! I also looked up Boudicca, Celtic Warrior Queen and she is my 47th grandmother. Can't wait to tell my husband about his belligerent wife's yet another royal lineage.
Too bad we can't pronounce the names of all those Celtic ancestors :-)

Christel Pierson you are my 24th cousin four times removed :)

And, Anne-Marie - we seem to be 24th cousins four times removed - through King of France Louis VIII le Lion, my 19th great grandfather. What a small world :-)

Christel Pierson you'd be my 15th cousin 4 x removed

I have several :)

Henn

Very Interesting Henn. However checking the birth and death dates of Adam I think you will find an error of some 100,000s of years so the tree cannot be consider genuine. But is fun nevertheless
