My grandfather designed the Civic/Mellon Arena, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the second HBK-Razor ladder match, the Mankind-Taker HIAC, and the Taker/Kane-Kronik match.  That's as close as it gets to famous for me.

My great uncle was in stuff like Time magazine for being a pig farmer.  And they were feature articles too.  One of my former classmates (same graduating class) at Wisconsin is on his way to a Calder Trophy winning season.

Scott Stapp, lead singer of Creed, is my cousin.  I haven't met him though, I'm not sure if we are related by blood or marriage.

Well supposedly my mothers side of the family is somehow related to Tecumseh(is that spelled right?)the famous native american guy. Now i can't say that for a fact as i've never seen a family tree but that's what they have said so who knows.

Pocahantus.  I know it isn't spelled right.  I'm a 12th generation grandkid, not a son.

 

William Wallace.  Yup.  Actually, lotsa Scottish people.

 

Rob Roy.  'Nother Scottish guy.

 

James the 1st and James the 2nd of England.  Scottish kings that didn't do too hot.

 

Really.

Adam and Eve.

in that vein i'll have to say Noah, of Noah's Arc.  I mean everybody died except for his family, so everybody has to be descended from him
