Making history as a famous father daughter team, Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus, have stolen the hearts of tweens worldwide after playing the stars of Disney's highest rated television show, Hannah Montana. Billy Ray Cyrus made his mark in the early 1990s as a multi-platinum selling recording artists with his number one hit, Achy Breaky Heart. After taking a time out from stardom to focus on his family, Billy Ray Cyrus, recently revived his entertainment career while working along side his spunky and internationally acclaimed daughter, Miley Ray Cyrus.

Now with a combination of a hit show television, music albums, tours, movies, and public appearances this family team perceives no limit to their future sucesses. After researching their family ancestry, it is not so amazing to conceive that Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus would be such a success because they come from a long line of people who made big differences in their own times.

Born in 1806, Bazeal Hayes serves as an originating ancestor for Billy Ray Cyrus family tree. Although Bazeal was born in the town of Wise, Virginia, he later moved to Lawrence County, Kentucky where most of the Cyrus family ancestors still reside. Bazeal earned a small fortune as a real estate trader, which he graciously shared with his 29 children. Many of the descendants of Bazeal achieved status as farmers, city and county officials, doctors, lawyers, merchants, civic leaders, religious leaders, soldiers and sailors in time of defense of their country.

Miley Cyrus says her family draws inspiration from another celeb family — The Spears’!

The pop powerhouse Cyrus family draws inspiration from another celeb-filled family, the Spears’, according to Miley.

“We’re so excited for them and their family just coming out. So empowered,” Miley said of the Spears family. “We just feel so inspired by their family.”

At Sunday’s MTV “Video Music Awards,” Miley told Access Hollywood’s Mel B that the Spears’ and Cyrus’ are close.

“My mom and [Britney] are like great, great friends,” The “Hannah Montana” star told Mel B.

Miley was also inspired by her own mom at Sunday’s awards show — inspired to borrow a pair of her mom’s shoes for the red carpet

“I’m adjusting to these shoes, they’re too small!” Miley said with a tinge of discomfort. “They’re my mom’s. Not good!”

Not letting the inspiration stop with just the Spears family, or her mom’s fashion sense, Miley said her Zac Posen dress made her want to dance in the middle of the red carpet.

“I feel like --I’m like dancing — like salsa!” Miley added.
