I just found I have some famous cousins through my 12th great grandfather, Barnabe Lessard Gagnon (1531-1581):
Céline Dion
Madonna Louise Ciccone
Jack Kerouac
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Ryan Gosling
Diane Tell
Of course, that means they're all cousins to each other.

More cousins
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: More cousins
I'm sure everyone has cousins they are not particularly proud of.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: More cousins
They are also distant cousins in my family tree as well (along with several other Famous Names) via the Zacharie Cloutier/Sainte Dupont line. Of course, that does not necessarily make Bob my cousin...so he is off the hook. At least for now.
And, BiT: Included among the Cloutier descendants is Justin Bieber. So, yeah, you are right...
