Famous ancestors

[Sue from Southend]

I'm doing my daughter in law's tree and have just added the Bronte sisters! Her 4x gt grandmother Charlotte Branwell was their aunt and I think it quite likely that Charlotte Bronte was named after her.

I have lots of famous names in my tree but sadly they're not the people that are famous but it has got me wondering how many of us are distantly related to someone of repute?
