okay anderson now if you had said you were related to babe ruth i don't think i could have spoken to you again. There was a time in my life that when asked what i would do with one trip back and then back to the present in a time machine the answer involved babe ruth and his father. I was very angry back then..lol

My Grandmothers cousin is the guy who announced that JFK was shot...Is that good enough?

My Dad's cousin was in a really big pop band in Europe but I doubt many have heard of him here. Occasionally, I find his records on Ebay.

Other than that I don't know, my mother's side has insanely generic names.

Which band would that be?

So much for answering truthfully

Actually, a relative of mine made the spurs that Booth was wearing during the assasination and rented the horse that he used as his getaway. Apparently, he had no idea what he had done since this was his business. He was still brought to trial not as a co-conspirator but to testify what he had done.

I have some serious members of my family who have spent decades on genealogical research and found out that I am related to Lady Godiva and also Richard III (he had a ******* son that is my relative who almost succeeded Richard III as King of England).

Sarcasm noted, and dismissed . . .

I am related to former Montreal/Colorado goaltender Patrick Roy. We are distant cousins. That was really awkward growing knowing that since he was with the Montreal Canadiens , and I was a Boston Bruins fan. My wife is a descendant of Buffalo Bill Cody. My wife's brothers middle name is Cody as a homage, and My son's name is Cody as another homage to both.

Not sure what you mean by it. My comment about the ancestor who was connected to Booth and the Lincoln assasination is true. He isn't famous in the sense that his name would be recognizable like Dr. Mudd but he really did make the spurs that Booth wore and owned a livery stable in the area.

After Booth was caught, he was hauled into court to testify in the case.

I have a full transcript of what was asked of him and his responses.

It wasn't meant to be sarcastic. Just noting that we both have relatives with ties to John Wilkes Booth.
