My Relation to: Entertainers

This will take some work but I think it will be fun.  I've decided to post my relationship to famous, well known, or significant history figures as calculated by Relative Finder.  I had to delete the category column to make it fit.  So I will name the category before the table.

I've decided to post each category separately since there are 591 relatives.  I may combine a few of the categories that are similar.  I think there are 18 different categories.  A lot of the people I don't even know.  :-) 

I decided to leave the distance category which is how far removed I am from that person.  For instance a parent would be 1, grandparents would be 2, great grandparents would be 3 etc. So you can see that I'm not very closely related to any of these people.  Definitely no DNA shared.

I also decided to leave the mother father chain which explains the link to the common ancestor.  And I've also left the common ancestor category.

Obviously if you go back far enough you will be related to everyone on earth.  Since we all share the common ancestors of Adam and Eve. This particular program goes back 16 generations. So if my relation is beyond 16 generations or unknown to that degree, that person will not be listed.

But you will find that I am related to quite a few well-known or historically significant individuals.

I will post one category or series of categories per day until all are included.

Have fun perusing my ancestral relations and please note Donny and Marie in this category!  :-) Yes, I am responsible for them being included.  You can thank me later.
