Seems like everyone else is! My dad did our family tree a while back and we are related, on my maternal grandmother's side to Marie Antoinette. She has been romanticized through time but really, not normally someone you would WANT to be related to. No one cool in my family like Justin Bieber can claim...read on:
Justin Bieber’s Famous Cousins
Genealogists at Ancestry.com say they’ve discovered that Justin Bieber is a
distant cousin of Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne. Their family link dates back
to some of Quebec’s earliest settlers 400 years ago. As if Bieber didn’t have
enough superstar genes, Ancestry.com also said he’s a distant relative of
Celine Dion. Researchers begun tracing Bieber’s family lineage about a year ago
by paging through teen-idol magazines to find biographical tidbits from the pop
star. They say Bieber and Gosling are 11th cousins once removed, and Bieber and
Lavigne are 12th cousins. They share common relatives Mathurin Roy and
Marguerite Bire, the researchers said. Both were born in France in the early
1600s, married in 1637, and moved to Quebec, where Roy worked as a master
mason. The genealogists also said Bieber and Dion are 10th cousins three times
removed because they’re linked to French couple Jacques Vezina and Marie
Boisdon, who were born in the early 1600s. They moved to Quebec, where they
died in 1687.
