Despite what the websites and the advertisements say, not everyone has a famous relative. And, even if there are stories of a connection to a famous person, work on documenting your known family as best as you can, as accurately as you can and see where the information takes you.

It may take you to a famous person.

Or it may not.

But your goal should be to research your ancestors’ lives and document them and their connections to their relatives as accurately and as completely as you can. A famous person may appear. Or they may not.

And it’s perfectly fine if they don’t. Trying to force the connection can be a waste of time and resources.
