			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the common last name or something else, but I&#8217;ve been interested in family history for a long time. Mostly, the Smith side. It seems the most difficult to track down (and is) and my grandfather, Eston Smith, died when I was 5, so I barely remember him. Plus, <a href="http://www.ancestry.com">ancestry.com</a> has opened up all of its war records until D-Day.</p>
<p>So, I have found that I am (allegedly) related to a few famous people. From my mother&#8217;s side of the family:<br />
â€¢ <a href="http://www.americanwest.com/pages/docholid.htm">Doc Holliday</a> (sixth cousin, three-times removed): I was pretty excited about this one!<br />
â€¢ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000007/">Humphrey Bogart</a> (eighth cousin) <i>Humphrey Bogart!</i><br />
â€¢ <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060216&#038;content_id=1313170&#038;vkey=news_mlb&#038;fext=.jsp&#038;c_id=mlb">Emmett Ashford</a>, the first black MLB umpire (seventh cousin, three times removed)</p>
<p>And from my father&#8217;s mother&#8217;s side (the non-Smiths), who just seem to be claiming everyone they can:<br />
â€¢ First ladies <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/mt12.html">Margaret Mackall Smith Taylor</a> (second cousin, seven-times removed), <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/lh19.html">Lucy Ware Webb Hayes</a> (fifth cousin, five-times removed), <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/im25.html">Ida Saxton McKinley</a> (seventh cousin, four times removed), <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/ew28-1.html">Ellen Louise Axson Wilson</a> (eighth cousin, twice removed), <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/fh29.html">Florence Kling Harding</a> (seventh cousin, four times removed) and <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/lh31.html">Lou Henry Hoover</a> (seventh cousin, four times removed)<br />
â€¢ Presidents <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/zt12.html">Zachary Taylor</a> (second cousin, 10-times removed), <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jg20.html">James Garfield</a> (sixth cousin, five times removed) and <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/rr40.html">Ronald Reagan</a> (eighth cousin, three times removed)<br />
â€¢ Inventors <a href="http://wright.nasa.gov/orville.htm">Orville Wright</a> (fifth cousin, four-times removed) and <a href="http://www.eliwhitney.org/inventor.htm">Eli Whitney</a> (fifth cousin, seven times removed)<br />
â€¢ <a href="http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/Passengers/JohnAllerton.php">John Allerton</a>, Mayflower passenger (13th great grand uncle)<br />
â€¢ Authors <a href="http://www.2020site.org/poetry/owh.html">Oliver Wendell Holmes</a> (fourth cousin, seven-times removed), <a href="http://www.raybradbury.com/about.html">Ray Bradbury</a> (second cousin, seven times removed), <a href="http://www.vcu.edu/engweb/transcendentalism/authors/thoreau/">Henry David Thoreau</a> (seventh cousin, three times removed), <a href="http://www.nightbeforechristmas.biz/moore.htm">Clement Moore</a> (fifth cousin, seven times removed) and <a href="http://us.agathachristie.com/site/home/">Agatha Christie</a> (10th cousin)<br />
