This week, I received an email from wikitree.com that I am closely related to some
famous people from Ontario, Canada.

I am:

19 degrees from Margaret Atwood - Canadian poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist, and
environmental activist.

16 degrees from Jim Carrey - Canadian-American actor, comedian and artist

17 degrees from Elsie Knott - Elsie Taylor Knot was the first woman in Canada to be
elected as Chief of a First Nation.

24 degrees from Gordon Lightfoot - Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist

23 degrees from Alton Parker - the first black detective in Canada

22 degrees from Beatrice Tillman - famous Black History proponent

22 degrees from Jenny Trout - first woman physician licensed to practice in Canada

19 degrees from Justin Trudeau - Prime Minister

22 degrees from Edwin Boyd - Canadian bank robber and leader of the "Boyd Gang"

18 degrees from Barbara Hanley - Webbwood's first female Mayor

31 degrees from Fanny Rosenfeld - Canada s Female Athlete of the Half Century

It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians physicians, detectives, actors,
comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them.

If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me

I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.
