A curious find?
I'm related to Emily Dickenson, my 9th cousin four times removed. That's pretty cool, if you ask me.
I subscribed to Roots Tech, presented my Latter Day Saints, who control most of the genealogy resources on the internet. They have vast amounts of scanned documents.
I found other distant relations to T.S. Elliot, Mark Twain, Walt Disney, and heads of state like Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill.
You probably have these connections as well.
My relatives are humbler than these. Although on my mother's side I have only researched to early 1900's. I was on Ancestry years ago before it became to expensive. There would be distant relations in the UK on my mother's side, but I don't know who they are. My father grew up in Edinburgh but I know of these relatives
