Who are you related to?.....by TC

Who are you related to? I'm talking about famous people, or people who are semi-famous, notorious, or at least somewhat well-known.

On my mother's side I have three fourth-cousins who fall into the categories I listed above.

1. Gordon Kahl, notorious tax rebel. He was a founding member of Posse coma tatis (can't spell it), a far-right wing militia group. He was involved in a deadly shoot-out in North Dakota in which a State-Trooper died. Gordon Kahl was hunted down and killed in another shoot-out in Arkansas. I never met my notorious distant cousin...but my mother grew up with him & knew him well. A made for TV movie starring Rod Steiger (as Gordon Kahl) came out about ten years ago. A book (in the True Crime) category also came out.

2. Michael Reagan, the adopted son of Ronald, and Nancy Reagan. For awhile he had either a talk radio, or TV talk show. He has dropped out of sight, as far as I can tell...unless he has a local talk show somewhere.

3. Shadow Stevens, a LA disc-jockey and actor. In the late '80s he had a starring role in a short-lived detective show. I don't know what ever happened to him.

I know that I'm related equally to these individuals. I don't know if they were ever aware that they were related to each other. I don't think any of them knew that I existed.

How it changed my life:

It's interesting to know if we are related to well-known people, whether they are close relatives or distant relatives.

Date: 8/23/2002 8:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 22852    The Kennedy Family and my Grandfathers family are related from back in the days when they lived in Ireland.. How exactly we are related I do not know yet as my grandfather gets very upset when we bring it up but I am still working on him for the info. We are also related to the late Burt Lancaster. His Mother and my Great-Grandmother were sisters and my great-grandmother loved the Lancaster name so much she used it as my grandfathers middle name. Burt and my grandfather grew up together. Today my grandfather is still alive but sadly Burt is not.

He appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and performed at many now famous venues. My Great-Grandfather (Great Aunt Charlene's dad-the one above), is said to have been one of Al Capone's personal chauffeurs, and that is why we have family property on Brandenburg Lake, which is off the Chain O'Lakes and is easily accessible to many of Capone's old hideouts, including the Mineola which is on the Fox River. Cool, huh?  
Date: 8/23/2002 9:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 177    Thanks for more relationships. I've remembered a couple more, although I can't recall exactly how close or distantly they are related: The 2nd wife of Lord Crouzon (sp?). He was a member of British royalty and she was some kind of cousin from my British blood-lines. The other one I remembered is a great, great, aunt who was the chief cook for the Danish royal family.  
Date: 8/24/2002 5:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 55538    My Uncle Is David DeLeary, A Bass player, composer, producer, and performer. Heres Something I Copied Off A Website " DeLeary’s film company, Cool Native Productions, produced the first television drama ever created in the Ojibway language, The Strange Case of Bunny WeequodIt won second place at the 1999 American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco." "DeLeary was also the bassist and music director for the groundbreaking Native alternative rock band, Seventh Fire" BOO-YA!!! My Family Rules!!!! LoL! ~*Lil Poot*~

Date: 8/24/2002 8:25:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 177    I've got another kinda, sorta, well-know great uncle. You wouldn't have heard of him if you didn't live in North Dakota during the 1940s. His name was P.O. Sathrie, he was Supreme Court Justice of N.D. I think he may have run for governor of that state. He didn't win unfortunately.

Date: 12/28/2002 7:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 10245    I get a lot of mileage out of this one... my great-grandmother was Grace Kelly... Not THE Grace Kelly, though. The only relative I can think of that might border on the famous is a cousin through marriage who plays guitar (or used to) for Gordon Lighfoot. I met him only once at a family reunion.  
Date: 12/28/2002 7:18:00 AM  ( Admin-JGB )   ummm well my "family" name is an Italian name, it's ummm sorta "famous"/infamous" in the NY area .... :D
