Was looking at the dichromatic thread that turned into a skin/eye color thread and it reminded me of a bit of my ancestry.
It's not like being royalty or anything, but my great, great (etc) uncle is Mark Twain who's real name is Samuel Clemons. Clemons is the family name on my mothers side. We have a clear tree that goes back to him. Also on my mother's side of the family tree, but farther back, is an indian princess.
My fathers side doesn't have any famous contributions that we know about, but it is 100% italian (like off the fucking boat). Last name is Centofante, which in old italian means 100 soldiers. So maybe there was a general back there.
Feel free to post anything interesting in your family tree. If it sounds a bit extreme, be prepared to back it up with a family tree gif.
