What's the most famous/infamous thing(s) a relative of yours has done?

My maternal great(40x) grandfather invented the club and my paternal great(50x) grandfather discovered fire.

Since then, there is a completely unspectacular, insignificant procession of averageness without peer.

My uncle was killed by the Mafia here in NJ, because he wouldn't sell his restaurant.

I am deeply impressed with that!

My mother has been researching back into our family tree for the last 2 years, both on her side and my fathers side of the family. So how far do you want me to go back?

Like on my fathers side one of my relatives fought in the War of the Roses against Richard the third. It's even recorded Richard killed him himself.

My Uncle in the Vietnam war saved five members of his troop, with a piece of Sharp metal in his hart. What a man
