I'm Kevin Costner's cousin!

[dolfan]

Dug this up in family tree research tonight. I couldn't believe it.

I'm Kevin Costner's 6th cousin, twice removed. My great X 8 grandfather is his great X 6 grandfather.

Pretty cool.

That's kewl. Me too!
So I guess that makes us cousins as well.
We all come from Adam via Noah, right?




Hey Cuz! What it was? *in my best cool "jive" 70's voice*


BTW, on a more serious and relevant note, I am also related to John Wayne, Billy the Kid, Geronimo (the war chief), and Patrick Henry.

Okay guys, where is the site that I can type my name in to find this out also?

I don't know where these guys are digging up their info, Pastor Ables, but Ancestry.com has a Relationship calculator...which checks your ancestor and runs them as far back as they have them...and then down all lines to pull up anyone famous.

Most of my lines pull up nobody.

But one was a goldmine: I'm a cousin of Frank & Jesse James (through two lines-This realtionship is also accepted on the James Family site), and there are cousin relationships to John Wayne, Doc Holliday, Clyde Barrow, Richard Nixon, Mae West and Ronald Reagan, John Glenn and Helen Keller.

And apparantly I am Chaucer's 22nd great-grandson.
