    I used to date Jennifer Anniston. Now I'm married to Angelina Jolie. Not really related to any famous people though... oh well.

    Oh Jeez. Actually I can boast ten US Presidents. I had known about Abe Lincoln since I was a kid (cousin), but when I started delving deeper, I found nine more. Yes George W. Bush is one of them on my Dad's side.

    Most people are related to famous individuals, you just have to have the correct program to run the family tree line. Ancestry is the one I use. Pretty cool stuff. Most of my famous relatives are through two or three branches that date back to the 1500s, then work their way back to present.

    And be careful.....Ancestry.com is at least as addicting as this site. It is not for the weak of mind.

    I am honestly related to Davey Crocket and President Hoover! The best man in my parents wedding was Michael Eisner (Ex CEO of Disney)! I think those are my only claims to fame!

    This is so funny--my uncles cousin wrote " all I want for Xmas is my two front teeth" he wrote it because he taught 2nd grade and needed something they could sing for the Xmas show.

    If you do a little work on Ancestry, you will find you are related to many more presidents I am sure. When I went down the line from Franklin Pierce, I saw Barbara Pierce (Bush), then George W. from there of course. Politics tend to stay in the family.
