One of these days, you'll be drawing the tree, and it'll come into

Yeah... I know...  :)  On my dad's side, we're related to Gen. George
Armstrong Custer (a cousin, but not first, in the same generation, and
about the same age as, one of my great-great-grandfathers, Benjamin
Franklin Custer).  On my mom's side there's a similar relation to the
great circusman, Phineas T Barnum.  Those are probably my most notorious
relations...
