I'm a direct descendant of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._G._Monrad who was a pioneer of the making of a constitutional Denmark as well as an early settler in NZ. He donated a lot of Rembrandt, Rubens, Dürer and van Dyck paintings/etchings to the museum of NZ. There is also a school in Palmerston North called Monrad Intermediate named after him.
All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.
Can't say anyone in my family is famous. I was vocalist/guitarist in (arguably) NZ's biggest metal band right now but that's about it. And I quit them before they got gigs with Metallica and Iron Maiden! D'oh!
