wrestlers Jay Strongbow and Steve Gatorwolf. My grandma was/is cousins with Bill Monroe of bluegrass fame. Grandpa passed up a chance to tour professionally with Boxcar Willie, they even had thier own TV show in Lincoln Nebraska on Koln/Kgin TV. My cousin is deputy chief of the Cherokee nation. My cousins in Oklahoma say we are direct desendants of Sequoyah. Other than that I don't know of any more. Thanks Arvin

Only been able to track mom's side back to the early 1800's...
Alot of Confederates in her Mom's side, but none famous. Nothing but Creek Indians on her Dad's side, again none famous. My Dad's side is traced back to the 1100's in Europe... If any of you are from the southern Alabama area, "Tillman's Corner" is named after my Great Grandfather and the Sheriff in Mobile Co. is like a 3rd cousin or something. Nothing really "famous" there, but I am proud of my ancestors, one and all.  |

Hey, I have a set of Wilson Tournament Julius Boros clubs that were passed down to me from my Grandfather. And now I know who they were named for. (I had never had the curiosity at the same time I had easy access to Google...). As for me and my family...I don't know that we're related to anyone famous. I haven't had time to do the serious geneological work necessary to find out. Jim |
