Ever find famous people in your line?

[Drunken Irishman]

I did. I actually posted about this in the lounge some time ago, but thought I would again.

On my father's side, if you go back a few generations from his father's grandmother, you'll pick up a Kennedy family line. Originally I just assumed it was a typical Kennedy, until I traced it back to an Alexander Kennedy. Alexander Kennedy is 10th great grandfather of John Kennedy. The Kennedy line goes like this:

Alexander Kennedy
|
Margery Sophia Kennedy (it's interesting to note she married a Kennedy, not sure it's a family member, though)
|
Gilbert Kennedy
|
Gilbert Kennedy
|
Gilbert Kennedy
|
Thomas Kennedy
|
John Kennedy
|
Patrick Kennedy
|
Patrick Kennedy
|
Patrick Kennedy
|
Patrick Joseph Kennedy
|
Joseph Patrick Kennedy
|
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

My line starts when Margery Sophia Kennedy (the 9th Great Grandmother of John Kennedy) married William Wallace. She had actually married him prior to marrying Gilbert Kennedy -- where that Kennedy line starts.

I thought it was interesting, none the less. What about you, find any famous names in your tree?
