Eyes on your ancestry

I'm loosely related to Sir Francis Bacon and Hitler, apparently. :colbert:

Not that I know of. Although my pops was adopted right from the get go. For all I know I'm related to Fabio. Or one of you, if you find yourself famous because you come up on Google.

It's pedantic but as we are all related, in theory everybody who is famous is related to me.

But in terms of the last few generations I wouldn't know - I don't ask a lot of questions.

Speak of 'don't ask a lot of questions' A lot of really old relatives of mine used to be Triad...what's the term you guys use: loan sharks.

Yep. They don't act like it but my dad told me and I was like OooOOOOOooo

Being Scottish, I have direct lineage to William Wallace, obviously.


But 4srs, I don't think I have anything famous going on in my history, but who knows! I haven't investigated it. :p

My grandfather's mother was the daughter of a Mexican crime lord, if that counts for anything.

Aside of that, I am a filthy heritageless American and therefore have no idea.

Get on my back KD and I will carry you far away from the mexico

I've heard a similar story regarding Genghis Khan and everyone alive today. I'm kind of sceptical about that, though. xD

Also, QI. :up: Awesome show.

I'm related to this dude. He is famous for opposing the Act Of Union (check your Irish & English history children)

I'm largely French and German.

Guess which one shows~!
