No one famous, as far as I know.
My ancestors were working class people who came through Ellis Island with little in their pockets.
Ummm… I'm related by marriage to Lizzy Gardiner who is an Australian costume designer, who has been working in Hollywood since the early 1990s. Noted for her originality, she is best known for her American Express gold card dress which she wore to collect her Academy Award for Best Costume Designer at the 67th Academy Awards in 1995 for her work on The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Her highest profile film was Mission: Impossible 2 in 2000 for which she designed the costumes.

I think we don't really. But I had a family member who does work on our genealogy say that we are extremely distantly related to Diana the former Princess of Wales. I am still trying to find the link though because I am skeptical!
Other than that only part of our family kept decent records that go back to before the revolutionary war. I have the genealogy book proving that much. I hope one day to get the edition with my name and add my daughter's.
On the other hand my husband's family is related to some famous figures. I am hoping one day we can take our daughter to see their land in Scotland someday. I would love to see where my own Scottish ancestors lived but nobody can yet tell me if they were Highlanders or lowlanders so oh well lol.
How far back do the Scottish relatives go? Take a look at the ScotlandsPeople website, it’s easy to search for births, deaths, marriages etc (you do have to pay but it’s not expensive) and you might find out a lot more!
My dad's cousin was in Twisted Sister. Mark Mendoza- really called Mark Glickman from Long Island...
