who are kin to/from the same ancestory as ANY OF THOSE
WHO SIGNED SUCH IMPORTANT AMERICAN DOCUMENTS AS THOSE LIKE THE "DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE'' AND ''BILL OF RIGHTS'' AND THE
CONSTITUTION...ETC.

society in america?

As far as I know I'm not related to any well known people of the founding times, however my ancestors came here (primarily) from Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland, in the 1750s or before. Most of them settled in Virginia (and what would become West Virginia), Southwest Tennessee, and Northwest Georgia.

I was born prior to World War II and raised initially on a farm in Michigan. Over the years I became a business consultant and now study the Constitution and present forums on Constitutional History.

George Washington had no children, so it is not possible that he is your direct ancestor - although you could be indirectly related. James Madison also had no children, but Dolly did have a son from her first marriage - not sure he ever had any children.

Check your sources to confirm your family legends are true. Don't worry if it turns out you don't have famous relatives. It was the common folk who made America the great country it is today. Uncovering their stories can be quite exciting.

I am a descendant of two Declaration of Independence signors, Stephen Hopkins and Button Gwinnett.

I am just an average middle class American.

We've all moved to Antarctica. We are now living with walrus slaves and indentured penguins.

Don't bother coming here to start sh*t. We have issued a doctrine called the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine. It plainly states that any intrusion by any outside foreign people will be considered an act of "Pavoratsi" and subject to a declaration of war.

Actually not, but I am a direct descendant of King John of England who was forced to sign the Magna Carta, which influenced our own Declaration of Independence...Does that count? ;)
