I found out last night that Zach de la Rocha, most famous for being the vocalist for rock band Rage Against the Machine, is my fifth cousin once-removed. That was fun to tell my bandmates.
Our common ancestor was Samuel M. Fleming, 1757-1813.
That is interesting. How does one find out such things?
I would guess Ancestory.com and such.
Curious but never tried one of those.
Some of my kids have done that...I think 23 and me.
For me, i take the approach of don't ask what you may not want answered.
