Any famous/notable ancestors?

[NSXD60]

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.

Don't you remember mentioning your heroic great-great-great grand-uncle, Omar Caravan who lead your people to safety inside the Guanovsky caves hidden from pursuing Cossacks whose noses were too sensitive to investigate? He really went to bat for your ancestors who unfortunately always treated him like shit afterwards by holding their noses for wisely making them stay there for a week. How was he to know that a local prince sent a messenger to the soldiers telling them to wait by the caves until they could escort him and his future bride to their wedding? Sometimes history stinks.

Unfortunately not. There is a parliament member from the German national assembly in 1848, a 17th century goldsmith, having silver works in various museums, also abroad, some mercheants and priests that can be found in literature, among them even three reformators and two general seniors of the (German) protestant church in Greater Poland but they are not notable in a general sense and there is no Wikipedia article on any of them.

The closest I get to relevant to the question individuals is:

- sibling respective child of direct ancestors, the astromomer and mathematician Erasmus Reinhold (1511-1553): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Reinhold
- grandchild resp. first cousin of direct ancestors, the (female) psychoanalyst and essayist Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Andreas-Salom%C3%A9
