OK, I'm back

he's the most famous relative I have, a huge movie star in his day and the first to star as the well-known character he portrayed. the author of the book his character is from didn't want him at all, but had no say in the matter after signing the rights away

he also was a bit player in Birth of a Nation and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

and he's about as distant a relative as you can get. I calculated him as a 6th cousin 7 times removed

Elmo Lincoln?

And no, I don't win the internet. I had to look it up. (I did know the picture was a Tarzan, though)
 
George Eastman. YOU ALL LOSE!!!!!!:tank:

Elmo Lincoln?

And no, I don't win the internet. I had to look it up. (I did know the picture was a Tarzan, though)

it is Elmo Lincoln and he is related to me by way of my great-grandmother Clara Eastman. her grandfather's brother's son was Otto Elmo Linkenhelt and he was the first to play Tarzan in the movies

I did say the relation was distant

we're pretty sure Clara was not related to George
 
Should be easy enough for some of you. That and . . .




<------- I'm not related to this guy though some might be (in more ways than one).
 
Did you read Candice Millard's Destiny of the Republic? It's on my Kindle, but I am in the middle of another biography of hers. Garfield might be one of the most interesting presidents we ever had (length of term notwithstanding).

Yes I did, its a very interesting book. Her portrait of Garfield is very interesting, but just as interesting is the description of the political context of the time. Those who opposed Garfield, who were in favor of patronage, did so not because they were evil or nefarious, but because they thought it was the best way to govern. Today, we would scratch our heads at that thought. It makes one wonder what positions we hold dear now that future generations will puzzle over.
