My Relationship to Jane Austen

Someone amazing will turn up in your family tree if you go back far enough.

Today I'm told I am related to Jane Austen, (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817), the English novelist known primarily for her six novels:

• Sense and Sensibility (1811), 
• Pride and Prejudice (1813), 
• Mansfield Park (1814), 
• Emma (1816), 
• Northanger Abbey (1817) published posthumously
• Persuasion (1817) published posthumously

Another, eventually titled Sanditon, was uncompleted at her death. 

She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and the unfinished novel The Watsons. (Wikipedia)

Jane Austen's novels were celebrated in a set of 6 stamps published in 2013.
