Here is the best part; for the longest time, I've known that I am directly related to a famous movie star, but it was a bit fuzzy on exactly how. This picture, taken in 1903 has helped clear up the mystery.
The old man in the center is my great, great grandfather. His 6 sons are on either side of him with their respective wives in the back row behind them.
The man on the right is my great grandfather. The man second from the left is the grandfather of the said movie star, and coincidentally, I share the same name as this man. That makes the movie star my third cousin.
These 6 sons came to North America at the turn of the century, 4 of which went to the USA and 2 to Canada.
Does anyone else here have any interesting ancestry?
