Are your related to any famous people?

[New Super Mario]

Are there any legit websites that can help you look to see if you are related to anyone famous? Also, I have no idea if I am related to anyone famous or of any status.

I am not sure. I always wanted to find out.

Ancestry.com?

There are genealogical societies that could tell you, but that's kinda difficult.

My uncle pitched in the MLB. Albert Pujols hit his first HR off him :P

I have a cousin called Glenn and he was on Big Brother once. He lasted a while, more than half way through I think.

I've never actually met him though.

I found out I have another somewhat famous relative who was Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of California (he at least has a wikipedia article).

I descend from quite a few:

My father's mother's side:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_Proctor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_Proctor,_Jr.

And through them, I am also related to (but do not directly descend from):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_D._Proctor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortimer_R._Proctor

That side of my family is where my middle name was derived from (Proctor).

My father's father's side:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Gardner_%28planter%29

My mother's father's side:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Miner

I have several family members who have kept track of our ancestry (on both sides). I don't know much about my mother's mother's side past my great-grandparents, unfortunately.

I'm sorry, his name wasn't Thomas Rudnicki.

Keep trying.

Yeah. And if he was, he would be older than a great grandfather.

Scriptwriter? The Declaration is not a screenplay.

Well, I might be related to some Egyptian pharaoh (you never know :P), but my uncle is a christian singer with 3 albums.
