Helen is *very* distantly related, but it's there. My aunt (dad's sister) decided on a whim (weirdo) to trace back the Keller line. She did so--to about the 1500's I think (I'm German and Swedish, *snicker*) and I saw the name Helen. I did some digging, and lo and behold--sign language star.
I, too, have done reports on Helen. The woman just plain amazes me. I know quite a bit of sign language. I can't sign fluently, but I can carry on a broken conversation.
**Cool fact: In the 1600's, I found a name: Lara Kehler. I'm a twin!
