#19 Writer

#8 is by far the hardest one, I was expecting it to be the last one.

#19 I think you guys will be disappointed it took this long.

[Komskies]

Can I keep guessing?

[Komskies]

19. Mary Jane Murray

Hemmingway?

[Caged Great]

Maria Blank.... it sounds somewhat familiar.

I know a couple leaders in the 19th/20th centuries had parents from completely different parts of the world name wise. I'm going to throw a guess of Vladimir Lenin because his name hasn't come up. I recall from grade 8 social studies all those years ago his mother had a strange, non russian maiden name.

[saskflames69]

#19 Robert Frost?

[transplant99]

8. Maria Blank
