My great-grandma (grandma's mother) was a Cassidy, and my other great-grandfather (grandpa's father) used to tease her that she was related to Butch Cassidy. However, I looked him up, one time, and learned that Cassidy wasn't even his real name. I also have a great-great-grandmother who, for a while, I thougth might of run a house of ill-repute. Your right, it always is close, but no cigar.
