My great grandfather used to have lunch with Fred Trump. He thought highly of Fred but wasn't a fan of Donald because of the multiple marriages.
This is actually a true story.
So what about you? Any weird connections or stories?

Only thing that I find strange coming from my Mother's side of the family. 2 years ago, I recently learned my great-grandfather was a Crime Mob and my grandfather & my mother inherit the wealth which I find interesting but all of that was done in Puerto Rico where my great-grandfather lived.
someone in my family found a newspaper article about an ancestor on my Dads side who got into trouble for trying to smuggle Haggis from Canada to the US in the early 1900s after moving to Canada from Scotland. The article said the Haggis wasn't approved for export to the US because it was "unclean" or something.
thought that was pretty funny
my grandfather was supposedly mob connected in jersey city back in the 60's - 70's
when my dad and mom were young, my mom's sister was married to an abusive husband. evidently my grandfather asked my mother if she wanted her sister's husband "taken care of" to which she naturally said no.
a few years later, that uncle died in a house fire while home alone...
All of them (except my dad) R liberals. I have nothing against that, rly, u believe whatever u want, but my sister is straight up an SJW (I still love her though since she's my sister) but yeah, she unironically believes in the "more than 2 genders" thing...

Who your grandfather or your aunt husband?
One of my very great grandfathers on my father’s side was general William T. Sherman of the Civil War. My father and I hold a striking resemblance to him. We avoid mentioning this while in the south.
Also, one of Queen Liliuokalani’s lady in waitings was also one of my great grandmothers.
Nothing else too remarkable or strange in my family aside some interesting heritage.

sorry, you're right it was unclear. my uncle died in the fire, not my grandfather.
Uh. My grandfather had parts of his fingers removed. Never found out why or how. Presumably a work accident as back in the pre-40's they weren't exactly big on worker safety.
No. But something interesting in my family. My brother is near to perfect while I'm not good at just about everything I do. Haha. What a giant difference :)
