Title: Famous Relatives
Post by: on July 28, 2001, 02:55:59 PM: Got any famous relatives? Let\'s hear about them!

I\'m 9 or 10 generations away from "one of the five greatest senators of all time." John C. Calhoun, who also served as Vice President of the US in 1824 and 1828.

I warn thee of family tree sites, most just trease you about information, then want $100 or something for the real answers. Most sites go purely by last name, and there are many completely seperate families with the same name.

The only way tofind out is ask Grandma, or pay a professional geneologist to do the dirty work for you. I personally asked Grandma.
