Anyone famous or semi-famous in your family?

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

One of my late uncles was the brother of Ron Townson, a member of the Fifth Dimension.

What about you?

[CM Dazz]

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

[The Tank]

I don't really like to tell people this, but since you asked so nicely...

...my uncle's Dave Mustaine.

[jamofpearls]

On one side of my fam, I'm related to Helen Keller, and Davey Crockett on the other.

I do know theres a guy here who is cousin with Indiana Pacers center Jeff Foster...which is awesome since im a lifelong diehard Pacers fan

[darthalexander]

I'm related to someone infamous: Wilbert Coffin. One of the last people to be executed in Canada. There's a big conspiracy thing about it. It's gotten to the point where they've re-opened the case to see if he was unjustly blamed for the murders of three American hunters. It's believed that he was innocent, but was made the scapegoat for the crime.

Also I know someone that once banged Wilfred Brimley does that count?

[icansleep]

If we're talking loose affiliations, I know a girl who had sex with pop superstar Shaggy.

[Ace Baretta]

My great-great uncle was Field Marshall Erwin "The Desert Fox" Rommel

[strykerdarksilence]

My great (great?) uncle was RD Blackmore who wrote Lorna Doone.

[Next Level was WRONG]

I'm a distant relative of Sean Connery if that counts.

[PrimeTyme]

My 3rd cousin (I think its third) was a Governer General in Canada. My great great great great Grandfather was key to the Anglo-Canadian victory at the Battle of Stoney Creek. And my best friends cousin is Lance freakin Storm. So because of that I got to meet him at his retirment show for BSE last summer.

You mean there is another Pacers fan here? I'm not alone!!!! Ah,the glory days of Chuck Person,Reggie Miller,Rik Smits,and Haywoode Workman.

Sorry,I got off topic there. Anyway,Chuck Yeager is a distant cousin of mine. 5th I believe. He and my Grandma were 3rd cousins if I remember correctly.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Let's see, my cousin is a former pro wrestling jobber who was the victim in the "Vader back breaking" incident, so semi-famous. I THINK, emphasis on think, I'm vaguely related so some baseball player, and there's a school named for my family in Tennessee. So, that covers it.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

I'm a legend in my spare time.

Otherwise I am not sure.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

My 3rd cousin is Trevor Linden, who played for the Vancouver Canucks for upteen years.

I guess he's kinda famous.

[spaceplier]

My mother's cousin played drums for Marty Robbins for years.

[DASH 243✅]

My second cousin is Max Von Sydow

[The Ichi]

My Dad was friends with Mick Jagger, which isn't really the same, but it's as close as I can get.

[bigdaddyfive]

Captain James Cook is apparently my great (forgot how many times) grandfather.
