I am a 5th cousin of Pretty Little Liars Actress Lucy Hale!!
Her mother is Julie Caperton Hale, her Grandfather Donald Caperton, her Great Grandfather John Donaldson Caperton, her Great Great Grandmother is Mattie Monema Edmundson, her Great Great Great Grandfather is Robert Lefeyette Edmundson, her Great Great Great Great Grandfather is Allen Edmundson
My mother is Reta Ellen Smith, my Grandma is Ellen Audie Smith, my Great Grandfather is Leo Glen Smith, my Great Great Grandmother is Allie Dee Gibson-Smith, My Great Great Great Grandmother is Sardinia Edmundson, My Great Great Great Great Grandfather is also Allen Edmundson
There is this page that has links to famous people's family trees and you can compare them to your own, one of which was Lucy Hale's mothers family tree.
This was the first celebrity relation i've ever 100% confirmed
the only other relation is only through marriage so i can't really count it, but it is much closer, the actress Jessica Chastain is the granddaughter of Gary Chastain, whom happens to be married to my mom's first cousin Sherian.
What about you do you have any famous or infamous relatives you have proven to be related?

This is pretty cool. As far as we have found I am related to the first person to ever put in a railroad spike but no one famous like that. I do know someone who is a distant cousin to Willie Nelson though.

She's really pretty, and that's so cool that you've found a celebrity relation. In my family tree we have (distant and a long time ago) Martin Luther (the reformer/Lutheran Church), and German actor Jurgan Prochnow.

I think if you were to follow the lines...many us have famous people connected to our family tree. Mine is more historical and I'm not sure exactly where the connection is. Let's just say it's an artist and I'll keep you guessing.
