I'm related to Donald Trump on my mother's side. My grandad and his mother were second cousins. Shame it's not a close family.
The other side of the family boasts John Wayne.
Other than that, there's no-one really famous unless you go back to the 13th century and Olaf the Black. Mind you, there was one lively period when one of my dad's ancestors confessed on his death bed that he was the father of his boss's youngest son. That kicked off a bit of a feud. Out of interest, the illegitimate boy managed to bump off his older brothers and inherited the title and then proceeded to try to take out everyone else on his real father's side. Nice bloke, eh? |
