Has any one found any one famous - or infamous in your family

[Petros]

I didn't think so until I discovered Alfred Hawthorn Hill was much better known by his stage name of Benny! (4th cousin twice removed)

[Stuart273]

Only one I've found (not that I'm actively looking for them) is a 3rd cousin three times removed called Ernest Rutherford.

[Kevin Burrell]

I did find a Ronald Macdonald in my tree (born circa 1903) but am not sure if it is the real Ronald:0)

I have one who was famous by association:  Dwight Logan Reid, a high school chemistry and physics teacher, who was cited by Glenn Seaborg as his inspiration when he won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1951.

[Guy Etchells]

I am related to Elizabeth Taylor.




She is my Great Great Grandmother, no not that Elizabeth Taylor the one born in 1841.

Hi,

This is what makes family history interesting, not so much who they were but what they did or achieved.  My G-G aunt Charlotte Batham born 1825 Notting Hill. London. (what a slum) married a Thomas Steel and moved to Walsall Staffs. Their daughter Emily Charlotte Steel married Henry Tonks. Their son Horace Norman Vincent Tonks somehow became the Anglican Bishop of the Vincent & Windward Islands.

   But my late wife's relatives beat mine into insignificance........
