Are there any well-known authors, musicians, or actors in your family tree?

One of my best friends is a direct descendant of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. When he told me, I flipped a little. He admitted he had to Google him when he found out, though.

This is interesting, too. A friend of mine from college is a direct descendant of Myles Standish. But the only interesting thing I can think of in my family is a great aunt who is a fortune teller in the New Orleans French Quarter....:).

President Robert E. Lee not sure on which side but my dad loves it.

My husband just authored a book. He is well known to me.

Sort of. My mother's two older brothers were cinematographers. One was nominated for an oscar for his work on The Poseidon Adventure.

Didn't win.

No, although my whole family is made up of professional authors, musicians and actors!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
