Any famous or well known ancestors in your family's genealogy?

I am a direct descendant of Oliver Cromwell.

Jean de Labadie. Thanks to him there's a religion named after my last name.

Labadism


There's also Joseph A. Labadie, but I don't know much about him.

The first marital record in Nouvelle-France is three Labadie brothers with three Sylvestre sisters, IIRC.

Robert E. Lee, I do believe. We also had a relative that fought beside Washington at Valley Forge and another that was a Major in Oliver Cromwells army.
