I have always been told that my Grandma is Willie Nelson's cousin. She was born August, 1933. Her mother was born Deloris Uni Nelson, or Uni Deloris Nelson in 1913. Can you help me find out if this is true.

Sorry My Great Grandmothers name is Deloris Eunice Nelson. Born around 1913,

Her Dad name is John Craig Nelson and her mother was Early Randall I think..

You do seem to be 'connected', Carrie.

You will note that you are now connected to the "Nelson" clan -- which contains the famous "Willie".

The great-grandparents are documented on FindAGrave memorials, as you can find the references to on their Geni profiles.

A couple of comments:
1) Be careful of your typing when adding profile information; your note in this discussion has your g-g-grandmother's name different from what you entered on her profile ... but because of the consistency of the husband and children (e.g. g-grand Deloris Eunice), it wasn't too difficult to identify that was the person shown on FindAGrave as "Earybelle".

2) Check out your 'Name Preference' in your profile information: in particular, you may want to check the "show middle names" and also decide how you want birth surnames shown.

By the way: If you check the FindAGrave entries for those g-g-grands, you'll see that your g-grand Deloris has (at least) 6 siblings ... more great-aunts & uncles for you! I also noted that FindAGrave has Deloris' married name as "Crahan" -- so maybe you'll find she was married at least twice, perhaps.

Thus:
"Willie Nelson is Carrie Lane's second cousin twice removed."

Have fun filling in and expanding your family connections!

Carrie it seems we both have a connection as well. It says that Mr. Nelson and I are 24th cousin once removed.
That is all I know wish I could be more help.
