Was a long-ago family member of yours part of an historic event

even as an onlooker?

It is family lore that one of my disreputable female, London born and raised ancestors could easily have been a victim of Jack the Ripper.

William Clark of the Lewis and Clark family is my first cousin 6 generations back. 2 of the trappers are direct descendents of my family. Pocahontas, (the real one, not Elizabeth Warren) is my 10th great grandmother and one of my great uncles is one of Shakespeare's Original King's men

You or your family before you have done a lot of research. It was well worth that time doing so. My goodness :)
