My ancestors were pretty typical, hunted injuns and owned lots of slaves. Apparently some of them got a little flirty with slaves too.

They didn't have the internet back then...can't blame them.

I've known for a while that a second-cousin that was probably involved in some really shady shite in the 60s. My entire family knows, but we don't care. No one was close to him, and my grandfather left the rest of his family in his 20s, and that little branch of our family turned out FAR better than the rest and it's like we're not even related now

I'm a direct descendent of William Wallace. So he's either a hero (if you're Scottish) or a very bad person (if you're English).

Had a cousin hire a hit man to kill his mother and brother. Mother died, brother survived two gunshot wounds to the head.

I'm sure my ancestors raped and pillaged some poor English folk back in the day. I don't really care though.

I've always kinda thought it was stupid to feel guilty for something simply because someone you're related to did it.

Completely agree. Also, frick the English.

I'm supposedly a descendant of William the Conqueror. I wish I had a title like "the Conqueror."

The only cool thing I can think of was an ancestor that was the madam at a brothel out in Nevada or California.

My great grandfather gave Goering his cyanide pill in prison

An ancestor of mine was a horse thief in the 1880's or so, he was eventually caught and hanged.
I'm related to Margaret Mitchell, she wrote Gone With The Wind. The movie drives me nuts, so I guess you could consider her an evil relative.

Then you're related to another poster here
I can't remember exactly who it is- maybe fibonaccisquated. It's a Georgia fan I'm pretty sure

Grandfather and great grandfather were into Eastern European organized crime. Not even kidding.
My mother is some distant relative to Yulia Tymoshenko too.
