Are you related to anyone famous in History?

[Taufgesinnter]

I'm related to somebody who worked for Teddy Roosevelt and somebody else who worked for Mussolini. Another relative, considered a Spanish-American War casualty, had the largest funeral in his hometown's history at the time.

Many years ago,older my brother wrote an English paper about the famous English Priate, Edward (Blackbeard) Teach.
In the paper, he wote that when Blackbeard went back to England, they said "Leave us alone, We dont want your kind here - Teach Out!
