For serious, dude? That's awesome! I'm descended from Joseph Hewes* on my grandmothers' side, so our ancestors knew each other!

According to my dad, I'm related to the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. I don't really believe that, though...

Family history is fun, because if you reach far enough back, you can find SOMEONE who did awesome stuff. Like, my mom's dad's family came to Canada because some guy was kicked out of France, supposedly for being a pirate, though that detail isn't 100% verified. On her mom's side, I'm connected to the Beaton's, the Scottish clan MacBeth, who aren't ACTUALLY connected to the mad king, but I like to believe they are, for the same reason I like to think I'm descended from a pirate

Speaking of Mad Kings, I'm descended (male line all the way to my grandfather) from the Dr Willis who "treated" King George III, famously, but probably completely inappropriately. I have an original copy of an engraved portrait of him made to the order of King George's wife; it looks like this.

hmmm....
I see the resemblance.
