Notable Relatives

These are just some of the nationally and internationally known relatives I have identified.
I am of course writing from a British perspective, I have overseas relatives more recognisable in their home territories
(such as a relative marrying an ex-wife of Michael Douglas, US Film Star)

Thomas Lyte shown below at top left, was my 14th x great grandfather. The Lytes are perhaps the family outside of Royalty with the longest pedigree that has been accurately recorded.
If you can establish a relationship with someone that far back, when the British population was very much smaller,
you are virtually guaranteed to have a huge number of distant relatives and amongst them famous or infamous faces.
When an early ancestor married Aristocracy, then their even smaller social circles guarantees famous names.

Thus I am not claiming Uniqueness in my relationship to these people, but rather I can demonstrate how that relationship occurs.
There will be a great many other people similarly related but not know the relationship exists nor how.
