Since Adolf Hitler acquired his last name from his father, I suspect there might be other people in the world with that last name.
Or........ it could be some a wildly convoluted conspiracy!!!

Hitler had a nephew who was British
Vanity Fair (I think, though maybe it was the New Yorker)had a pretty interesting article about Hitler's nephew a few months ago. Hitler's brother's family actually moved to the United States before the war. The article said that they continue to live under a different name in the New York metropolitan area.

Not really. This site just opened within the last week or two, and it's been flooded from day one. Tracing your family history is, as you probably know, a big deal on the web. I've tried several times to get on (just for the heck of it, as I have no particular interest in discovering my ancestors) and have been shut out every time.

subpixel: a search for "Czarne Hitler" yields a lot of results in polish because "czarne" means "black" in polish. Additionally, "czarne koszule" is a key term from that time... It literally means "black shirts" and refers to some fascist group in UK that formed after the war, if I remember correctly. I don't know the english translation.

It's well known that Hitler hailed from Austria. There are some questions about his ancestry, but this isn't one of them. Note that variable spelling practices had the name as "Hiedler" or "Heutler" depending on who was signing his name.
A bit about his Irish relatives. His nephew William Patrick Hitler actually emigrated to the US and served in the US Navy during WWII. He later changed his name and avoided the public eye.

I've done depth study on Nazi Germany.
AFAIK Hitler's father was illegimate. His paternal grandmother wasn't married when she gave birth. But a wealthy Jewish family whom she had worked for, supported and looked after her for many years. Its been aledged that one of the son's in that family was Hitler's grandfather. Making Hitler at least a 1/4 Jewish. But there's no direct evidence.
I heard that Hitler surname was a misspelling or mistake when someone was recording his father's name officialy.
