I learned tonight that I am related to Robert Browning. He was the famous poet who was married to another poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It was from my grandfather's mother's side. Her last name was Browning. I don't know the exact relation though. I think it's kind of cool.

This is very cool, Brian. :) I remember reading poems by both Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning in a college literature course.

My uncle is Country singer, Wake Eastman. He's not too famous, but he is pretty famous, and he's getting more popular all the time. He was even voted as the biggest up and comer in Country music not too long ago, in some Country music magazine. Here's his website incase anyone wants to check it out. I think he's really good!! http://www.wakeeastman.com/default.php

Well, I am supposed to be related to the man who is believed to be Marilyn Monroe's biological birth father. Marilyn also believed this certain man was her father too. Who knows.:confused:

I'm also supposed to be related to the real life Rev. Alden from the real life Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Throw in John Adams and John Quincy Adams too.

* I forgot to mention Orson Welles, "Mr. Citizen Kane", William Cullen Bryant poet, Herbert Henry Dow- Dow Chemicals, Frank Doubleday-started Doubleday Books, Martha Graham- dancer/teacher, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Sophia Hawthorne- wife of Nathaniel Hawthorne
