    My great great (and more greats) grandmother was a cousin of Benedict Arnold.

    My father's mother was a cousin to Grover Cleveland.

    My mother is a cousin to Princess Diana's maternal grandfather (or grandmother.............can't remember exactly............anyway, one of them married an American in Mom's family). Nathan Hale is in there too in that line.

    I am a direct descendant of Roger Conant, the founder of Salem MA and militant Puritan.

    Since I am a genealogy nutcase, I have found many pretty well known ancestors.

    The only living famous person I know of is Frank Gifford, 4th cousin. Never met him.

    We were talking about this the other night, and my 8 year old grandson (Princess' son) said his Dad is famous. So, we asked him what he meant. And he said "well my Dad has a big truck with his name on it and he drives all over the place, in that truck. Everyone knows him, so he's famous."

    I thought it was great.
