Any famous/notable ancestors?

No direct ancestors but I have 2 notable great uncle's.
One was the most decorated Canadian Jewish soldier in WW2 and the other was a comedian who opened for and was good friends with Elvis Presley.

Edit: sorry for the double post

I've heard that one of my ancestor was the sister of Lavoisier, the great French scientist.

Not that I know of, most of my ancestors seem to have been your average soldiers, farmers or tradesman - still hella proud of them though and everything they stood for and accomplished.

Not sure, but i'm maybe descendant of Sire of Joinville (companion of Louis IX of France) and of Simon of Monfort. Sadly my noble line before XVth century isn't clear.

I think I am related to Abraham, otherwise I am not sure.

I sent away for an ancestry test so we’ll see, sinc rim curious about my family because I feel they have dubious origins and some of them were adopted.

According to 23andme, I am related to Jimmy Buffet

I am also related to John Reid & William Wolfskill.

I dont know any notable ancestors, but going further back I might have. I know my grandparents, my parents, beyond that great grandparents only vaguely like I know their ancestry, and vaguley what their proffession was, but not more really. But there might be further back a notable ancestor. I should do more research but Im too lazy and dont care really for it.

This is from the older version of 23andme? It said I was related to him too due to the fact that he's I1 but that's going back to like 4000 years ago. Bill Clinton is also I1 apparently but I'd love to behead that motherfucker and piss down his throat.

Yeah, it was the older version. I don't recall getting Bill Clinton. He will burn in Hell.
