Apparently my grandfather several generations removed couldn't even keep his eyes open for a photo...
Bell end.
Anyone here have a more impressive lineage than mine?
Wow, that came out big!

That is massive, is he compensating for something?

Cooool!
And a very impressive beard. Can you grow one like that, Bussell?
My great great great grandfather Signor Cayetano Gomez (oh yes) did some weird shit in the 1800s.

Sadly not, I grow facial hair like a 14 year old boy.

A fletcher makes arrows. I believe bows too.

I'm related to Abraham Lincoln and Cheryl Baker.

Freeborn John? You must be proud to be related to such a hero of the left!
(Incidentally Rev Hammer recorded a rather good concept album about Lilburne which is well worth checking out.)
According to family tradition I am distantly related to John Harrison; my father recalled that when he was a boy the family were still trying to get the longitude prize out of the Admiralty.
