For those of you who do not know who he is, see this; Bertrand Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was a famous logician and philosopher who is my Grandmother's 3rd removed cousin!

Although not blood related, still in my family tree!

Only learnt this recently and felt compelled to share it with others who may know who he is!

I'm jealous.

The most historically prominent person I'm related to was the chief editor of the official Nazi sports magazine. No, I am not kidding. This is a close relative on my mother's side - I believe he is a <insert proper number of greats> uncle or uncle once removed.

Probably shouldn't talk about that at a job interview! :p
