Hi Helen, Yes I have searched and there are many many sites dedicated to his history and achievements in his field. The most I can find about his family is his parents names, where they came from and vague dates, along with some half siblings and numerous wives LOL. Prolly end up having to get a book from the library.

Anita I don't know of any general site, but there may be genealogical info on a specific person. Have you tried typing your famous person's name into google to see? Depending on how famous they are, there may be a biography of the famous person, or their pedigree may be at the Society of Genealogists. Helen
