Question:

Is there anything unusual or famous in your family history? Are you sure?

In 1940, my aunt and her bf poisened and killed her husband(my uncle) and hid his body in a grain silo. People started asking where he was. After a few days, my aunt's bf took the dead body from the grain silo and placed it in the pasture, thats when my aunt called the police. They never suspected murder. The police report says he died of over exertion and my aunt and her bf lived happily ever after. They both died in 1985. I found out about this from family tree research and read my uncles obituary in the news paper from 1940. So, I am related to a woman who was cheating on her husband and murdered him and got away with it. Great.........

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Christina Pryharski- my mothers family came over to America in one of the first of 6 ships to dock in Mass. Habour! We COULD be related!

I have many awesome relatives; I could never live up to their accomplishments...
My Great Uncle was in "Who's Who in America" for Education in the 1960's and same side of family (Finnish side) my Great Aunt's Brother, Albin Kaasinen was a very famous Artist (Wooden Carvings) and is Featured in The Finnish Museum of Art, his carvings are very valuable and my family possess many of them, I have two that I treasure.
On my mother??s side, my Grandmother was the Genealogist for the Mormon Church (I am not Mormon) she traced our family directly back to first cousin of Queen Elizabeth of England.
My own father invented the wire Granulation System- which he sold the patent in the '70's. He also was a pioneer in encouraging the general public to save and collect Aluminum soda cans in the mid '70's when they stopped making them out of steel, he was a metallurgical engineer and had an aluminum smelting plant in which his sole buyer was RJ Reynolds Tobacco, his aluminum was used for Reynolds Wrap Foil though, not smokes.
My Uncle by marriage developed a vehicle called the Xeno car in the early 70's that ran on a Gyro, however the big motor companies (Ford, Chevy, etc) threatened him and my father if they ever brought it to market (because it got 60 miles per gallon). My father purchased the patent for sole ownership to develop. He, with my oldest (Genius) son were just starting to build a prototype and bring in investors when the proposed business plan was released. However, my father died from a brain tumor 3 months after diagnosis (in 2002 @ age 59) and never got to realize his dream- He and my son would have been very famous. I am still proud though.
