Remember, remember...

Not exactly a success story, but I was amused by my latest tenuous claim to fame.

My 8xG-grandmother Selina Welby had a sister Mary who married a Thomas Fawkes. And Mary's father-in-law Michael's 3rd cousin was none other than a certain... Guy Fawkes :)

That was a tricky relationship to work out, Mary! :d

Well done!

No relation at all, just a relative by marriage.

Well on the one hand you can celebrate the connection, but if people start saying you are associated with a terrorist you can claim that the connection is very tenuous, so its win-win!
