I'm related to General Lyon, a Union general during the Civil War.
Also, although I'm not related to him, my grandfather was friends with Werner von Braun.

Apparently I am a relative of Leonardo Da Vinci. One of my ancestors married his sister long long ago. I am also related (this has been confirmed) to a governor of Veneto from the 1700's when King Umberto ruled that province. Also an opera singer in South Africa that I haven't met. Apparently also related to a Greek Orthodox saint. That's as far as I know. Both my sides of the family moved around Europe so before a certain time period it's pretty hazy.

I have the ultimate. My life is National Treasure 2. We are related to someone who conspired to kill Lincoln and was hanged.

I've had friends related to Washington and Jesse James. My mom had a cousin who was some popular country singer and had some records back in the day.

Apparently I’ve got some ties to Lincoln. But then who doesn’t? That man whore…

My girlfriends Aunt is a really famous porn star. Seriously. Very surreal. Apparently she’s retired now but runs a big porn company. I couldn’t believe it. I totally had to put on my acting skills and pretend like I’d never heard of her. I can’t just come out and admit, “Hunny…I’ve whacked it to your Aunt”. Thanksgiving will never be the same…

I also have an ex that claims (though it’s dubious) to be related to Sean Connery. Supposedly he married her moms sister or something, divorced, but still shows up time-to-time at occasionally family reunions. Of course, being both an Indy and James Bond fan boy, I begged to go to a reunion…but to no avail. Hence I’m wondering if she’s lying. That’s a pretty extravagant lie though. Guess yah never know…

Sigh. If you're related to him (whichever you're related to) you should at least know the differences between the two.
Since you're from Kentucky, I'd assume that you're related to Daniel Boone.
