Originally Posted By Labuda I'm related to Pat Robertson. *shudder* Oh, and in other news, I have an uncle who's in jail for pretty much LIFE in Florida thanks to him having been a drug runner. Oopsie daisy there, Uncle Bobby! In other news, nobody in the Labuda branch of the family is a criminal - that's just my Mom's side, where I'm also related to Pat Boone, Daniel Boone, Benjamin Harrison, and William Henry Harrison. Ya take the good, ya take the bad, ya take 'em both, and there ya have... the facts of Mom's family! lol
Originally Posted By utahjosh I just traced a family line back to Kings of Scotland, England, Germany, and more.

I obviously have no way to verify all of that, and my guess is someone tied themselves to royalty for fun, and the royalty back then tied themselves to names in the bible just because they could. The information before 1600 is so very, very hard to come by.

Those of you of a different age will have no idea who I'm talking about, but it used to be (in the olden days) that minor 'celebrities' would appear on tv game shows - sometimes regularly.

Originally Posted By skinnerbox Ditto. I remember What's My Line as well. And Arlene was in one of my favorite Doris Day films, "The Thrill of It All." Way cool you're related to her, gadzuux.

Originally Posted By gadzuux I never met her, and I don't think my mom had seen her since she was a young girl - back in Watertown MA in the 1930s. The vague impression I got was that Arlene Francis was a very proper and well-mannered woman - someone that my mom was mildly proud to be related to. Mom had a streak of that 'proper Bostonian matriarch' vibe of her own. There's no explaining what happened with me - but I suppose it's in there somewhere.
