For instance, on my mother's side, my several great's uncle was General Brock.  The General that kicked some US butt and sent the Americans packing to protect the land near Niagara Falls.

This is not a slight at you, but I feel your comments are a slight towards me.  Let's hear your families brush with greatness.

or anyone's families brush with greatness would be interesting.

Closest I can come to that is the fact that A) I can trace my families bloodlines accurately all the way back to 1291 (blame the anal retentive Swiss recordkeepers :P) and the fact that my father runs the golf course that has hosted the Canadian Open in 2002 (My dad has the '02 Canadian Open winners signature on a flag from the tournament) and the course will host it again in 2007 (Angus Glen)
