My mom's side of the family has been part of the "in-crowd" of Virginia politics dating back to the 1700s. Her parents use to party with the JFK Kennedies and such. Otherwise, no.

The last Tzar of Russia had one of my great great great (or whatever) grandfathers as a personal family guard and the other of my great great great (or whatever) grand fathers as one of the highest ranking Generals in the Russian army. My family has an oil painting of both of them standing with the Tzar Nicholas and his family. They fled the revolution, coming down through Canada to settle in the U.S. The dumped a HUGE portion of the jewels that they came with into Hudson Bay because the jewelry could have been tracked if ever found and they feared for their lives even over here.

My mother's mother's mother's mother used to deliver the newspaper to King Kamehameha. Our family has a gold coin given to her by the king.

Not to sure about the rich part but my half sister out in LA directs softcore porn movies. Nothing really explicit, just the cinemax type stuff. She's planning on coming back to Ohio this September to visit. Haven't seen her in about 10-12 years, should be interesting.

My cousin is Cyrus Bolooki, the drummer for New Found Glory. He's gotten me tickets to concerts and I got to look around on thier tour bus. It was pretty cool. It's wierd to see your "dorky little cousin" on MTV Cribs.
