<p>DeskPotato, if you really know what family it is, PM me in private, I’ll tell you if you’re right.</p>
<p>Yes, it is famous, but not as in nouveau-riche celebrity famous. Old-money, historical famous.</p>
<p>My family continues to donate, and the patriarch has listed Harvard in his will.</p>
<p>The contributions were ongoing, in that the facilities are still used to this day.</p>
<p>And I traced it back to 1757 (typo before) because a member of my family signed the Declaration of Independence and thus, there is a wikipedia article about him, including his time at Harvard, leading to his family tree, which intersects with the other family. Family A is the DiO side, family B was important in many fields, from science to media to transportation. Both sent many of their children to Harvard.</p>
<p>And aren’t the finals clubs somewhat like secret societies?</p>
