I mentioned Family Search and their new relative finder in a previous post. Today, I printed out a list of 361 notable relatives of Nancy Langford Foley. If you are related to Nancy through the Langford family, these are your relatives too.
The list is extensive and includes many categories. Since it is published by Family Search, provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) it includes categories of religious prominence to this Church. Also, since Nancy is the 2nd cousin 3 times removed of Mary Ann Angell, who was the second wife of Brigham Young, there are many relatives in these categories.
In addition below is a list of other notable categories, number of relatives and the most notable:
