    Not sure about ancestors, but Dwight Eisenhower is a very, very distant cousin.

      It’s probably way more common to have famous cousins than famous direct ancestors.

      My grandfather was famous enough in his particular field of work, which probably makes him my most famous direct ancestor (though I have a feeling that my State officials ancestors would disagree on that).

      But with cousins (by bloodline or married-into) you’ll find quite a few famous names and connections to my tree.
