So some family members of mine have been going to town at Ancestry.com, filling in my family tree.  One of the cool tools that is has, if you have gotten your tree far enough back, is the ability to see who you are distantly related to that is famous (just deceased people unfortunately).

Notable entries for me are Humphrey Bogart, Agatha Christie, Walt Whitman, Sam Adams, "Wild Bill" Hickock, Mamie Eisenhower, John Wayne, Tom Thumb, Winslow Homer, Jane Austen, and Florence Nightingale to name a few.  And my fathers side of the family tree doesn't even go very far back yet, so more to come!

I posted the current list here.
