It's like 6 Degrees of Separation or something...

Unknown

So my roommate and I went out to brunch on Saturday morning with her parents, and at some point, we start talking about early American history, which somehow leads to discussion about this mother-daughter group I guess my roomie and her mom are/were in together.

And my roomie's mom says, "Oh, and did you know that so-and-so-that-we-know-from-the-group, her family is related to the guy that fell off the Mayflower?"

And my roomie and I gasped and looked at each other.

'Cause we all know that Rusty's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather (or something like that...) is the guy who fell off the Mayflower!

So I demand, "What's this person's last name???" Sadly, this person's last name is not "Ross." BUT apparenty this person also has a lot of family in and around Worcester, which is Rusty's hometown.

So I'm rooming with someone who's in a mother-daugther group with someone who's related somehow to Rusty. I just think that's amusing.

cool. I didn't know that about Rusty. and sadly, I have no famous relatives or ancestors or anything.......well, except Dracula, but my mom's family tries to keep that quiet.

haha, that's really awesome. I had no idea Rusty had a relative that fell off the Mayflower long, long ago. hahahaha. That is amusing!

Let's see, I'm not really related to anyone famous either. My cousin, Lori Amey, is a singer. But she's kind of unknown. You guys should look her up. But she's kind of folksy so I don't think any of you would like her music. But she has a beautiful voice.

I KNOW!!! Oddness.

Rusty's post is on being related to the guy who fell off the Mayflower is here, he posted it on 10/5. Apparently, his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather's last name is "Howler, " and I think these people my roommate's mom knows are the "Hellers," which actually isn't a far cry at all. So who knows. They coud be cousins or something. That would be crazy.

I'm related somehow to Martin Scorsese. I think my great-great-grandmother and his great-great-grandmother were cousins or something. That's my claim to fame.

Oh, and one of my cousins used to date the drummer from Bon Jovi. That's how you know I'm a Jersey girl.
