Hi all, apologies if this has already been discussed. I was just writing a tiny piece on Peter Jackson and see that he was born on the US Virgin Islands. The US-VI's has a tiny population of 100,000. Does anyone know if that other famous US-VI resident Julian Jackson, the huge punching light-middleweight / middleweight from the eighties and nineties was related to the big man in any way? Either way, has Julian ever mentioned Peter in any interviews? Thanks guys Nick www.famous-fights.com
I am not aware of it but given the population of the virgin islands it is highly likley that you could link them. I would only need to go back 200 generations to link my family tree to yours or any other member of this forum and that is with a global distribution.
