    Default Any famous/notable ancestors?

    Who of importance or renown in your research have you discovered to be descended from? Interested because I just found out I'm the 11x grandson of Pietro Caesar Alberti, the first Italian settler in New York! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Cesare_Alberti

    Let's see!

    Apparently I'm a Mayflower descendant on my mother's side, specifically Richard Warren and Francis Coke who were signers of the Mayflower Compact. I'm also a descendant of Kenelm Winslow who was a brother of Edward Winslow (also a signer of the Mayflower Compact and occasionally the Governor of the Plymouth Colony from time to time) who came to the Plymouth Colony some years later.

    Yeah, a couple of B and C-level (where the really well known ones are A-level, e.g. Freud) gestalt psychologists, one ex-Israeli government member, a very rich industrialist/merchant called Franz von Wertheim (from my Austrian side - he had his own palace see below) as well as this famous rabbi supposedly (Naftali Zvi of Ropshitz - but it's very far back and I have no direct line, only rumour).

    Also on 23andme I'm related to several current or ex-US governmental staff, such as Peter R. Orszag.

    Don't have any famous or notable ancestors as far as I know. I do know that some of them were wealthy/rich, but that's all.

    Very interesting from all of you!

    I believe if anyone from yoru ancestry has accomplished anything notable and gained some sort of recognition for it in their time, it's more than worth mentioning now!

    Just found out I'm I think 3rd or 4th cousins of the Wright brothers! Not too surprising as we both come from a decent amount of New Nederlanders who came to Dayton, Ohio.
