Then there's the relative who'd be considered interesting by part of the population, comparable to Genghis Khan by another part.
I've never gotten that- pretending to be related to someone you're not. I mean, YOU'D know. Once had to tear apart the tree on Ancestry. We keep it just to have someplace to put family information for everyone, photos, etc. Some idjit wanted to be related to someone ( I forget who, and we're not, either ) so stretched dates, names, etc. and created this ridiculous myth using Ancestry. It's not like anyone gets a laminated card " I'm related to xxxxx " and you get to have a parade.
PLUS look how weird other people are about their important relatives- I've had more than one buttinski send me an email about a guy whose last name is Howard in our tree. Just a guy. Emails always make SURE I know OUR Howard is NOT of royal Howard lineage. a. Didn't think so b. really, really, really don't care either way.
Grandfather swiped a train once. True story. He'd apparently always wanted to know if he COULD drive a train. Transpires he could and was a little surprised everyone got all excited about the experiment.
