I'm ashamed to say that my 7th Cousin is Pat Buchanan. Uggggggghhhhhhhhhh that fills me with so much dread saying that.

Oh yeah, someone else I got. James Denton is a cousin of mine. He plays Mike Delfino on "Desperate Housewives".

My paternal grandfather, Willard Kelly, was the deputy head of the Immigration and Naturalization service, having started in the Border Patrol. He quite literally wrote the manual for the Border Patrol, as well as making many important changes to the Border Patrol; for example, pushing a program to teach basic foreign language communication to Border Patrol officers. He also briefly locked horns with Jay Edgar Hoover, after Willard kept telling everyone about how the FBI would "announce the arrest and deportation" of someone that the INS had arrested and deported (failing to mention, of course, who had done the arresting and deporting.)

Wow, some people actually know who their Seventh cousins are!! I don't know some of my first cousins.

Me, Peasant by name, Peasant by nature.

The American footballer, Bobby Convey, is a very distant relative. So congrats to him on achieving promotion to the Premier League with Reading FC.
