I think I'm related to a senator

[Grafsteins]

Dear Guys
My names Kane Grafstein,the name grafstein means "Count Stone" in german meaning some of my ancestors were german (Im english,welsh,russian,polish and viking as far as i know).In canada there is a senator called Jerry Grafstein,his mother was called Helen Grafstein who was a cousin of my Grand Father.In the world there is only one family called Grafstein as it was named after a german nobleman.
I keep in touch with other grafsteins all over the world but this one is just mad.I couldnt belive it when i found out...Im related to a senator

Has anyone here got a relation someone in high government?

 

[Keral_Patel]

No i don;t have any relations in government or police or lawyers or judges. Nor in rail department or air force or military or navy. My relatives are not even corporators or ministers or clerks. There are no engineers or doctors or pilots in my family.

WHY?

Bcoz I am the only one who studied to 10th grade. :D Others all were farmers :D

Happy for you. Maybe you can get good seats at some ball or inauguration from him :blink: Maybe one day that relationship will be to your "benefit". But, when, and if, that day comes, it will be a trial of your principles/ethics. And, maybe even more important, him being a senator, a trial of his.

To quote (paraphrased) the great American President Abraham Lincoln (1861-65): I am not as interested in who my grandfather was, as I am in who his grandson will become.

Rather than admiring the successes of others, I am more concerned with my own future.
It is better to be applauded than to applaud.

According to the old testament, Adam and Eve are my relatives

LOL


kidding aside, i dont think i'd care if i was related to someone with a position in the government. And besides, if someone knew you were related to someone in a high position, chances are, the terorists or bad guys would know it and thus risk my life too

I've seen some family history:

My great, great grandfather on one side was the personal assistant to the prince of Bavaria, and fought along side him in the first world war.

My great grandfather on the other side was the chief building office for South West Germany during the second world war, and managed to make some good money by scamming the Nazi government.
