My grandad on my father's side was a bank robber.

Judge Roy Bean and Bob Wills are distant relatives

Curtis Strange

Robert E Lee, whom both of my grandparents on my mothers side were descended from (yes, they were second cousins). Luckily for me, I didn't pick up any banjo skills from their relationship.

On my Mom’s side an outlaw that ran with Billy The Kid.

My Dad’s side, Kiser Bill.

Neither one anything to be proud of.

She does not say that

Mark King, member of the band Hinder.

We played the game a few years ago and someone else named him too.

Judge Roy Bean was my Great Great (and maybe another Great - it's confusing) Uncle. My maternal grandmother was his niece.

Mike Huckabee on Fox News and former Governor of Arkansas is my cousin.

Played poker with Willie Nelson and from talking to him we may be distantly related. Haven't taken the time to dig into it to find out for sure, but we have some relatives with the same names, just not sure if they're the same people.

My only claim to fame is a relative named Morticia buried in a haunted cemetery.
Yea its her doing the haunting

No one in my family. But the lady that plays and sings with me in my band does. Her son and daughter in law are pretty famous Country song writers and performers. Her son has sang on stage with Emmy Lou, Patti Loveless, Vince Gill, and many more. He wrote Whiskey Lullaby for Brad Paisley. Her daughter in law wrote many songs for Blake Shelton and she has her own album out. That's as close as I've come to famous people.

I am a direct descendant of Dr Albert Schweitzer. My Niece was a VJ on MTV and a regular on MTV Real World shows.

giggle

Haha. Yeh. She’s a pothead and a Heroin addict. But....if you ever watched MTV, you’d know her. Sad.

because you can and you dam well should thank your 3rd grade teacher for it.

and according to my paternal grandmother I am related to sequoiah. I have no proof of it though. grandfather born in what is now platt natl. park in Okieland, you can still see the rock foundation of the house from the hiway. grandmother was not known to be a liar althougth she was a beetch.

On my father’s side; Captain James Cook

Supposedly he is a cousin or uncle somewhere down the line.

My uncle did an ancestry.com deal and we are related to bad azz pirate that was known for looting booty and murder.

Aaron Spelling on my wife’s side.

Lil Boosie on mines

My Grandmother's maiden name was Rodgers, as in Roy Rodgers.
My wife's mother's maiden name was Younger, as in The Younger Brothers

Does being in the mob or going into the witness protection program count?

If I had any they'd be infamous.

my grandmother down the line was burned at the stake as a witch in the salem witch trials

You have a wife? lol I thought since you referred to women as hoes you were definitely single.
