Hey Pandas, Who Is Your Most Famous Or Interesting Family Member, Living Or Dead? (Closed)

One of my ancestors (according to ancestry the DNA test people) was the priest on the Mayflower!

Oh wow, I have a lot of brilliant and interesting family members. For instance a Nobel laureate in physics, the co-founder of the Dutch branch of the WWF (the WNF), and a medical professor, who after his retirement became a doctor in philosophy as well, and kept publishing scientific articles till well in his eighties.
But my favourite ancestor has always been the great-great-uncle who was a pirate 🏴‍☠️

My grandpa once did an ENORMOUS family tree, and he found out that one of our ancestors was the first knight for a new kingdom. Pretty badass if you ask me.

I can't post all mine because most have my surname and I want to keep a level of anonymity.

Martha Washington. First first Lady.

A famous explorer from France.

A banjo player from the Grand Ole Opry

A baseball player that played for the Cardinals, Dodgers, and the Braves.

Apparently, I'm distantly related to Princess Diana. I t was so cool to find out.

One of my great great uncles or something was there during the bombing of pearl harbor. He was a painting a house or something similar when he fell off his ladder. He was passed out through the bombing.
Another, not definite one, but a family myth is that we are related to Pocahontas. It's probably not true, but it's fun to think about.

My grandparents have been doing Ancestry DNA for quite a while now and they doing out that my 6 or 7 times great grandfather was friends with George Washington when he lived in Virginia and when Washington became the general. I just think that’s pretty cool

My dad was on the Medtronic engineering team that created the first pacemaker.

My grandma, apparently she was a song writer and was married to some famous trumpet player for a while, and even traveled with the Rolling stones. At least so she told me :p

A great-great-great (I think?) uncle of mine was in the mob

On my grandfathers side Mary Queen of Scots is on the family tree but I’ve meet other people who have said they the same so properly not as interesting

I have a lot of famous family members!!! My grandad was a lion tamer and my granma used to run a circus. My most proud one is the my aunt has travelled across the world and is now also taming lions! Ik weird fam. I also used to help out with the circus(used to trapeze) !

We have king Louie the ??? Somewhere in our family tree

My some amount of greats grandma was a part of the King's Daughters, a group of 800 french women sent over to 'New France'. It happened in 1663-1673. None of them were royal. In fact, most of them were orphans and poor people. No one important would miss them if they died.

I'm distantly related to Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher and Todd Fisher. Debbie knew my great grandma they were cousins. I never met any of them.

My grandfather was in Vietnam and Korea

The man who saved Abraham Lincolns life as a child

My great great great grandfather (I think that's the right amount of greats) was native american, but he could pass as white. So he did. He stole an identity, robbed a few banks, married my great great great grandmother and hid his past from her. She found out when a cousin of his found him. He left with their kids and became a groundskeeper (or farmer or something, I can't remember exactly). So yeah.

Since middle school, my idol has been architect Frank Lloyd Wright (I am also an architect). Imagine my glee when I found out, as an adult, he’s a third cousin once removed on my mother’s side.

my great grandpa. hes from Puerto Rico, and one day grabbed his brother, hopped in a boat, and paddled the boat all the way to Florida. they went through the Bermuda Triangle, just not the whole thing, or through the middle. just a small portion of it. still pretty cool to me!
