Family legend says I am or was related to some famous singer in Quebec Canada.  I never got the name and this was back in the 60's.  The legend also said that she was "arrogant" and became a "snob".  And no, it was not Celine Dion.  Anyway, this was the family "legend" as told by my mother, which I have since learned was prone to being overly dramatic in recounting tales from our family.  In all likelihood she and my mother are hashing it out in the next world!

Fame is relative. I'm related to a bunch of Finnish painters and one shipowner, but few outside of Finland would know who they were (they're all dead now, as far as I know).

Maybe the question with some of my family should be: "famous for what?"

Banjo? I don't know. This is your bit where you tell us what they are famous for, because we do not know your family

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Okay, excellent IceQueen. You are in a thread on people that are famous that you are related to. So the fluent shit speaker was a close or a distant relative? Presumably apart from fluently speaking shit, what were they famous for?

I am, but since they are all still alive, I will not out them on the internet. One of you knows who.

Although, if you're of European stock, there's a pretty damned good chance you're related to Charlemagne.

Yes you are right, IceQueen. It is very good isn't it?

I'm related to people too religious that you hardly heard of them to begin with.
