Do you have any famous relatives or ancestors?

I am in Ostersund, Sweden now, a town that my great-great-great-grandfather founded.  I went to the archives today to see if I have any living relatives here and the receptionist there was very impressed, said she was "honored" to meet me!  He has a huge monument at the cemetery.  Some other ancestors were very successful at other things.

    I have a friend, Jerry Hatfield from W. Virginia. He claims kinship with the feuders.

    My great grandmother's son on my father's cousin's side was the Ty-D-Bol man.
