I’m related to Edgar Allan Poe. I don’t remember how exactly because it’s convoluted, but technically he’s somewhere in the chain on my mom’s side of the family.

Yes but saying so would be revealing because of the last name, and I’d doxx myself

Both, my grand grandparents on Father’s side of the family and my grandparents on my mothers side have the surname Grimm. My luck, only one side is related to them ʘ‿ʘ

paternally I’m related to a bad man, with a hilariously terrible statue, from the us civil war era.

Allegedly I’m related one one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence…and Pocahontas.

One of my ancestors printed some of the first US currency in 1777

It’s entirely apocryphal, but it’s said my family can trace itself to the Carthaginian royal family.

I can’t get too specific for privacy reasons, but I’m very, very distantly related to a few doges of Venice, by maternal side. (I’m not from Italy.)

Also my grand-grandma has a street named in her honour.

Y Chromosomal Adam

This post has convinced to ask my mom to see the family tree.

About a thousand years ago, a Duke came over from Normandy as part of an invasion of my country.

He even built a castle not far from where I grew up. Sadly I’m not allowed to own that castle or live in it.
