	Hiya, was wondering if anyone has found that they are relations or decents of anyone once/currently famous?

	I wish I was! Preferabley someone with no other descendants to leave all their hard earned cash to! Seriously, there are plenty of William Hill's in my family, sadly none that are remotely related to the Bookies of the same name. Likewise Benny Hill, Harry Hill etc etc. Oh well, one day I might find a link to one of these.... Sam

	I can sympathise with Sam, as my husband's grandfather was Thomas Cook, but sadly, not the Thomas Cook who would have made us heirs to a vast fortune with limitless free travel around the world! Still.......a girl can dream!!!
