Ancestry has release the passenger lists from the UK to USA and its shown that lots of Hollywood stars have their roots in the UK - does anyone have famous rellies in their tree?? Ju x

no,no such luck.mine are just famous at disappearing

i'm having exactly the same problem!!! x

I have a very tenuous and as yet unproven connection to Bernard Matthews ( he of Turkey fame). According to my father and his siblings Bernard is my grandmothers cousin - but of course they can't supply any further information. I will eventually get round to looking into that 'rumour' but am still concentrating on my direct lines. In addition, I'm not sure I'd want to claim relationship as I am opposed to factory farming and don't eat processed food. Mind you if he leaves unclaimed millions on his death I might have to prove relationship. Morals - what are they? T.O.R. :~))

I've recently found a branch of 'Lincoln' rellies from Heigham, in Norfolk. The same place Abraham Lincoln's ancestors came from. :-p

Booo, hisss Bernard Matthews. Boo hiss. :-p

Paul pmsl with you on BM hiss boo indeed T.O.R. ;~))

Halle Berry's maternal grandmother comes from the same area of Derbyshire that I have links with so trying to do a bit of investigating! x

My Grandad was told that Nobby Stiles was some relation to him not sure how true this is though as I have found no link yet. Jacki:o)

Not just him, but some of his employee's are a bunch of beepy beeps too. Did you see those two f******* w******* use those turkeys as Baseballs? They escaped prison!!! I'd gladly smack them with a baseball bat!

Oh, and by the way, I'm also a descendant of Jesus. > 0:-)->-< PMSL. >

Paul Stop It now - I'll need a commode at this rate. Please behave and stop insulting a potential benefactor of mine. Heard about the f*** wits he employees - didn't see it but couldn't it be argued that their behaviour was just a blatent example of less obvious cruelty within the meat industry. No I'm not a vegetarian I just make sure I source organic free range products. T.O.R. :~))

when did all this come out about B M

Not that long ago Selina, must have been about 3 months ago. A friend of mine is an Animal Rights Campaigner, and is always protesting outside the Matthew's household, and the factories. One year he even camped on the Front Lawn of the Matthews Mansion during Christmas day But, the family were sunning it up in Barbados at the time. pmsl.

Sorry Juliana I didn't mean to kidnap your thread. T.O.R.

thats typical Paul,and its called blood money in my eye.was any one charged with cruelty

I think they got something like 100 Hours Community Service, or something cruddy like that.

My grandfather was Trainer (I believe) to Leyton Orient footie club. And my wife is related tenuously by marriage to the Ryder brothers of Ryder Cup golfing fame.

i have a rellie who was well known and also loved by many, Rosex

I worked for a veterinary practice that supplied vets to the slaughter houses, and yes that included the chicken variety, I tell you if you had seen what I have seen you would all be vegetarians overnight. Kathlyn
