My cousins live in Littleton, Colorado and go to Columbine but other than that there's nothing special about any of my family.

My dad was on the national basketball team (U-18 or something like that) and my grandfather was on the national bowling team. I have some scientists and university professors among relatives, but no one really famous.

My uncle is a famous architect in Taiwan...
My other uncle is a famous triad head in Taiwan, he showed me his old photographs.. Like an Ak47 he hid in his fridge for example... He retired though, but he still has the background. Lotsa respect he gets...
Then I got another cousin from my father's side, she was a fomer Chinese National volleyball team captain.

But talking about ancestry, isnt true if according to the Bible... We're all from Adam and Eve?

I'm somewhat related to Diego Simeone (one of the greatest players in Argentinean football). He's the cousin of my uncle-in-law, but I've seen him only two times or so. ( when I was like three years old. He played for Atletico Madrid or some Spanish team at the time)
Also I found out I have family in Hicksville, New York who are extremely rich. I didn't know anything about this until about two weeks ago.

Abraham Lincoln. Yes, really.

And you know Rogers & Hammerstein? They wrote the music for 'The Sound of Music', 'Oklahoma', etc.... my cousin's grandma (of no direct blood to me) was Rogers.
