If I’m remembering correctly how it worked for the Curie family, this means you should be getting your Nobel Prize in Literature any day now

I am related straight down the line to the German mystic painter, Caspar David Friedrich, (mother's side) and my Great, Great Uncle was Lev Ivanov, Tchaikovsky's favourite choreographer. We were an odd bunch.

My husband found out his ancestors were on the Mayflower and he's distantly related to Amelia Earhart.

*waves to your husband*

Probably a cousin.

I've got Alden blood. They had AT LEAST a dozen kids.

I'm related to 25% of the population of New England.

His ancestor was Edward Fuller.

I'd say you're at least honorary cousins. 😁

My favorites are Janis Joplin, Eddie Vedder & Princess Diana. Lots more, some great, some not so great, like Sarah Palin.

My great grandfather on my father's side is from Barbados and was a Cumberbach pronounced Cumberbatch. Barbados had a sugar plantation during enslavement owned by Benedict Cumberbatch's ancestors.
