Title: Do you have famous ancestors/relatives
Post by: macabre on April 30, 2001, 01:03:12 AM: So is there a famous person in your family?
For myself,I am a descendant of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) ,the Astronomer and Mathematician. His most famous work is the laws of planetary motion.
Here is a good read of his bio: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Kepler.html

And now look at me....what has become of me? :D
Ooops,I forgot I have no pic yet...

BTW, I seriously am related to them.

I am also related to Danny Glover but I don\'t consider him famous.

He\'s also the voice of huckleberry hound and Quickdraw McGraw, and other weird Hanna Barbera characters. we have part of his estate, so we get all this cartoon crap.

Post by: SmallLady on May 02, 2001, 09:17:50 AM: Well, I have no world-famous relatives, but one pretty talented figure skater is a fairly distant relative of mine. My late grandmother\'s cousin\'s wife or something like that, she is a famous celebrity around here, she used to cook on tv & stuff. So nothing too grand..
