Some distant relative on my mom's side made a huge family tree with lots of information. One branch could be traced all the way back to the late 1500s in Austria and Bavaria. One person in that branch was supposedly a witch.

Then there's my dad's side. Legend has it that my great great something or other was from a very well off family in the Philadelphia area until he ran off with a squaw and moved to Wisconsin. He was supposedly in a little bit of trouble with the law also. Actually, I know that we share the same name as a wealthy and famous family from Philly.
