Kind of...My mom's dad's great grand-father was a famous Russian general in the war against Napolean...something like that...lol...It goes WAAAAY back...and my mom's grandfather is also a semi-famous Russian artist and writer...
John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch and Alexander Cummings are both related to me...Cummings less so but I am definitely related to 'Red Comyn'. I could have been related to a King of Scotland AND apparently I read that my ancestors had quite a vested interest in the English throne too.
Remember the Battle of Inverurie!
Also I just remembered - Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming. The first director of the Secret Intelligence Service...MI6.
Thomas Paine (writer of 'the common sense' and 'the crisis')
william jennings bryan- vice president of the US back in the day
and supposedly a distant bloodline to Wiliam of Orange.
I'm not related to anyone famous, but my mother was telling me the other day about a few times Dio called her house as a kid. It seems my Aunt Nancy hung out with him for a time. :|

Only distantly and nobody anyone's probably ever heard of. Old western legends the 'Younger Brothers' apparently were some relation, and my dad's cousin was June Haver, who married Fred McMurray, Ironically my dad had 3 sons too.
And we're also apprently somehow related to the dude who invented Menthalatum.
The fact that I probably mispelled a few things here shows how distant they are and how little I care :-P
Im not related to anyone famous that i know of. Although someone i know is a descendant of henry the eighth and he still has the surname parr (of one of the many wives)... Not that thats of ANY intrest to you at all.. :S
I swear Brian May's my mom and Robert Plant's my dad, I swear...the resemblance is very uncanny.
Oh and I'm some how related to Bob Dole which reminds me of the Simpsons episode...bob dole likes to talk about bob dole
I'm related to this guy link
And this guy some how as well link
And my Grandad always believed we are related to the guy who started Twinings Tea
For some useless facts, my friends aunty cooks for Johnny Depp on his yacht and when I was a baby I was nearly stood on by Gary Whetton (a famous All Black) at the airport.
