Who's In Your Geneology

I come from Adam and Eve as they told me! They are pretty popular as I read...and I should be proud of being part of their family. Apart from that, my genealogy includes my mother, which is fairly the most important for me in my whole relative tree...and also includes my father, of whom I'm not so proud, since he left us too soon. However, I will try to answer a question after I think a little bit more.... I just gave you the first answers that came into my mind...

My most famous ancestor is just famous in this area.He had 32 children,owned most of this area,has a few streets named after him.He was in the Revolutionary war and was captured and help prison in Pennsylvannia.After he was released he walked from Pennsylvannia to Virginia.

When I was much younger I talked to some of the elders of my family about my genology. I discovered that on both sides of my family I'm descended from a long line of low class very poor peasants who left their native countries because they were out of luck and lacking in any opportunity. In short, I'm just a typical American. There is nobody famous in my family.

Wow that is really interesting. Unfortunately for me I do not know and historical or famous people in my geneology. And you are right this is a very interesting pursuit. Imagine someone traces their geneologies ALL the way back and everyone is connected to Adam and Eve. Oh man that would be straight up weird LOL. But I don't think I have anyone famous in my family.

That is very interesting to find out... being related to a very important person who has done something good for the one's country is something to be proud of... in my case... it is so difficult to find out my genealogy since both my parents come from different provinces... and the parent of both are the same thing... But i wish that i can still trace who my ancestors were...

I haven't found anyone famous in my genealogy, my brother-in-law's genealogy, or my fiance's genealogy. I think we've all got some Civil War veterans, and I know I have at least one Revolutionary War veteran, but they were just rank and file soldiers.

I don't really think we have anyone in particular that is famous in our genealogy. My grandmother used to claim that we are descended from the first king of the Isle of Man, but I don't know if I believe that because her name is so common, I can't trace her family history. Also, we have a famous Scottish military officer in our family named McTaggart, but I don't know how famous he really is outside of the UK or even Scotland. I know we have a very, very, distant cousin by marriage related to the Kennedys, but it's so distant as to be insignificant. Most of our family seems to be, as far as I know, farmers, tradesmen, merchants, pastors/religious workers, engineers, and skilled workers. In all, pretty average people.

I am related to King Henry the 8th. It explains my love for food and power.

No I actually have no idea. I'm from the Dominican Republic and I was raised here in the U.S. So I don't really know much about the Dominican Republic history. But that is so cool that you are related to Francis Scott Key, that's really awesome. And of course your sons have bragging rights. They should be proud, now they are like celebrities or something. LOL

Our family is related to both Benjamin & William Henry Harrison. My 11 year old son actually did a project for school last year tracing himself back to Benjamin Harrison. (We are also supposed to be distatly related to Pocahontas.)
