My most famous relative is Stonewall Jackson.
People here in California aren't too impressed. But southerners think it's pretty cool.

Thanks Briana
she is realy working on it ;-)

I have a familytree that goes back to 1300 here in Germany. We are blueblooded and some King of Danmark gave us the title Von in our name.
But there is no real famous person in our family for the last 700 years:-)

Both cousins to my Grandfathers
