Well, as famous individuals go, I can't say that I know if I'm related to anyone of particular prominence, though my maternal great grandfather was the black sheep of a prominent Irish family, was disinherited and left Ireland for Canada.
However....
Both sides of my family, have, or have had, places in Canada named after them:
There's a town in Ontario, not far from our national capital of Ottawa, currently called Appleton, several years ago it was known as Teskeyville. Named after my mother's side of the family, the Teskeys.
Further East, in our maritime province of Nova Scotia, is a place called Vogler's Cove, named after my father's side, the Voglers.
Its interesting in a way when you think that there were enough of you in one place at one time to name it after you.
Had a history teacher once that was a Korean War vet, he never told us what he did there, he didn't like to talk about it. He was well past retirement age when we got him as a teacher, said he kept teaching because it kept his mind off his memories for a good chunk of every day.
