Famous ancestors?

[Goldie]

So my other thread asking about what type of work you guys and gals do seems to have gone well. So I thought I would ask another.

Again, if there is an existing thread, I couldn't find it, so please feel free to shut this down if so.

So who are you related to that is famous, infamous, well known, etc.

I'll give this a go.

My Great Great Grandfather, Great Great Grandmother, and Great Grandfather we're all passengers abourd the Titanic whilst she was making her trip across the pond.

Encyclopedia-titanica.org lists them as 3rd class passengers, but I have always heard they were actually in steerage which is worse than 3rd class.

My Great Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather both made it off the Titanic and onto the Carpathia. So I guess I would consider myself part of the really freaking lucky gene pool.

If anyone is interested, here's a link http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org...goldsmith.html

So who are you folks related to?
