h Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) My great uncle helped design the Canadian flag if that counts - he's in some books, not others.If you live in Orleans there is a Beddoe Lane named after them - but thats probably more because their property was there.my grandfather toured with the queen - that's not really famous, just interesting. He was the treasurer and they called him "moneybags" Edited October 4, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My cousin is the father of Xuxa's baby. Apparently she's the most famous woman in south america. Actually, that part of the family is all pretty famous down in Brazil, they get written about in tabloids and stuff all the time. Remember that episode of the Simpsons when they went to Brazil? And Bart is watching the kids' show with strippers? Well, that's Xuxa. Oh, and Eugene Levy is related to me somehow. Cousin's cousin through marriage or sumpin like that. Years ago I used to watch her show before going to work. It really perked me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeps Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My Pappap (Grandad, Grandpa) was part of a team that helped break the story of the PTLs misuse of funds. Jim and Tammy Fay Baker were pocketing cash from telethons that should have went to bolster the catholic faith with building of churches or buying another virgin Mary statue. The paper won the Pulitzer Prize for their efforts.My Dad brought the band the 2 of us played in to Woodstock 99 emerging artist stage and we also were 2nd place in the Mix '99 songwriting contest. www.alicemusic.com is what's left of it...not an entertaining website whatsoever anymore. The band broke up shortly after these successes. :crazy: My Great Grandpa was an Argo before they were the Argos. His name's on the Grey Cup.

Guest Low Roller Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My Dad was an engineer on the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. He has all the blueprints to prove it. Fame or infamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 During the 70's and early 80's our uncle had the top-rated english radio program in Montreal ("McKenty Live") on CJAD. My dad's cousin, Red Kelly played for the Leafs and Red Wings, and my brother Bob once held the record for the most uneaten lunches left abandoned in a high school locker. To this day, it's the last fact that stands out most for my brothers and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcane Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 We've done a good job of staying off the radar. Fame attracts attention, and that makes it difficult to get anything meaningful done.The Mercenary says he once had one the most severe cases of food poisoning ever recorded in Ontario. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalacePrincess Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 very curious indeed, dos! maybe with that new adoption records law they're passing you can find out more information one day, should you so desire. as for me, famous relatives, hmmmmm..... well, my stepsister's husband's sister's husband is a right wing in the nhl. todd harvey -- formerly of the san josé sharks, recently traded to the edmonton oilers. go team! that's the only one that comes to mind... so i must obviously be of a very extensive line of famous people. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
