Our Famous Relatives
All of the famous relatives that I am placing on this site are based on their relationship to me through one of my grandparent’s ancestors.
If you want to see how you fit in, you have to know which person on our lineage you are related to. [You can find this out by looking at my pedigree chart listing on this sites links/blogroll and finding relatives that we share in common].
In my case, I could be related through my dad’s side through his mother (Owens family) or his father’s (Ross family) ancestors), or my mother’s side through her mother (Lewis family) or father’s (Long family) ancestors.
So, all of my brothers and sister have the exact same relationship to these famous persons as I do. All of our children would have the same relationship to the famous person as each of their cousins.
If you are connected directly to any of the ancestors that lead back to the common ancestor that we have with the famous person, then you are related also. The relationship would be different from mine, but you would still be related.
Over the next few weeks (or months), as I develop charts of the connections to these famous ancestors, I will place them on this site as sub-pages of the parent page: Our Famous Relatives.
