King James the 4th of Scotland. I'm his 13x direct great grandson. I don't remember much about my family's genealogy, but I distinctly remember being told it goes back to Scottish royalty in some fashion. So we might be related. Well, the way things worked back then was if you didn't like the current King, you battle his army and kill him...which is what happened to James IV...so probably not.

Kevin Brauch is my cousin, I wish I could have his job as the thirsty traveler. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_BrauchAnd apparently I may be related to Hermann Göring, head of the Nazi Luftwaffe, but I'd rather not be associated with him.

Most people wouldn't know his name but great uncle trained animals for Disney. Pretty much every animal in Old Yeller, Charley The Lonesome Cougar, Swiss Family Robinson and other old classics.

I don't know about myself, but the family that adopted me is distantly related to Benjamin and William Henry Harrison, if I recall. Was either that or Rutherford B. Hayes.

Let's see....
Donnie and Marie Osmond are VERY distant cousins of mine. Bill Clinton is also a very distant cousin. One of my ancestors is St. Columba, the Patron Saint of Scotland, Ireland, Floods, Derry, Poets, and Book Binders. Thanks to my Scottish clan being a part of the Graham clan, I am related to William Wallace(his clan was part of the Graham clan too).
Also, I don't know his name, but another one of my ancestors was an American colonial soldier during the Revolutionary War.
