It's a little funny to me how many people I am related to have wikipedia entries.

There's my great-great grandfather, Marcus Wilson Acheson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Wilson_Acheson

My great-grandfather's first cousin, Edward Goodrich Acheson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Acheson (nephew of the above)

My great-grandmother's first cousin, Frances Parkinson Keyes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Parkinson_Keyes

My grandmother Dod's first cousin, Adolf Augustus Berle, Jr. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Berle

Nobody on my mother's side at all, as far as I can tell; I know a lot about her family history, but nobody seems to be Wikipedia-level.

I have read almost everything Keyes ever wrote, including her highly entertaining biography, and been to her house in New Orleans.

I may be an outlier. :-)

Yes, you are.

For your next trick, you need to read Adolf Berle's important work on corporate governance.
