Tell me about your weirdest relative?

Last year I learned about the man who gave my family our name: James Haere from Scotland. He worked for a rich businessman pruning his hedges and keeping his garden clean. The rich man was apparently very demanding because he had a rule that any one who killed any animal on his property would be arrested. James Haere arrived at work one day to find, to his dismay, one of his bosses hunting dogs had died during the night. Out of fear of reprisal, James fled the area with his family, eventually immigrating to America where he changed the spelling of his name to "Hair".
