J.P. Morgan - his understanding of the world financial system and his vision of how to organize industry were uncanny.
Ulysses Grant - so underrated by military historians but accomplished things militarily that no American general before or since could accomplish.
Ike - very underrated as President. We are beneficiaries to his legacy like the interstate highway system , among other things.

His granddaughter lived across the street when I was younger. Used to come over to the house and cook. I can tell you three things with absolute certainty
#1 His chicken was good, but his gravy was better
#2 The spices were in our kitchen, and most kitchens at the time
#3 KFC no longer uses that recipe as product is not what I ate

Thomas Jefferson
He was, at least, a hundred years ahead of his time.

My maternal grandpa. Never got to meet him but he was a screaming eagle who spent 3 or 4 years in Europe.

My great, great grandfather and tell him to do whatever you have to do, but don't sell your plantation that became 1/4 of modern Clanton, Al. during reconstruction for chump change.

Tiger Woods. I would like to find out how he was able to win all those majors while knowing the whole time he was messing around on his wife. As hard as golf is and for him to be able to focus with all that other stuff that must have been on his mind and be as dominant as he was is borderline incredible.

Interesting. Not my first choice but I have to say I’m intrigued. I think I would be worried the crazy would rub off or I would actually like the man.
My first choice would be Winston Churchill. With a close second being Teddy.

So many to choose!
Ludwig van Beethoven - (Prior to him going deaf) I’d like to play some top notch modern music to see what he thinks. Maybe some Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lynyrd Synyrd, Annie Lennox, John Williams…
Carl Jung - With a list of questions!
C.S. Lewis - About the deeper meaning of the Tales of Narnia.
Pope John XXIII - Show him some of the final drafts of the Vatican II encyclicals to see if it matched his vision of the counsel when he planned it in 1961.
Hedy Lamarr - Beautiful actress, brilliant scientist, and inventor.
Edgar Allen Poe - Determine for myself if the stories of his depression, drug addiction, and/or insanity are false, which I believe they are! Brilliant writer!

Napoleon or Hitler.
Both were the most influential people in their respective centuries. Both accumulated massive military power and manipulated their countries like seldom seen in history. Not an admiration thing, but would be interesting to get a chance to see what makes them tick.

Thomas Jefferson. Not the first name that popped into my head but the Adams telling gamers to pick their own cotton sparked it.
He wrote the DOI, got into a bitter election with his former friend Adams, afterwards joined with Adams to become the first duo of former enemy politicians to revive their friendship, and despite being his only assets of value, he freed his own slaves. (Hemmings would have provided a lot of great insight too.) He literally wrote the beginning of our country. I'd like to know why he wrote about freedom yet did nothing to end slavery. I think there's a lot of things lost over the centuries about his relationship with Adams.
If he was time traveling to the present I'd love to know his thoughts on the buildup and fighting of the Civil War, our rise to become the world's superpower, the ME wars, and our last 5 Presidents. I think he's one of the only Americans in our nation's history pragmatic enough to review and come up with a way we could have handled things better.
AND I'm pretty sure he wouldn't hold back on the gun control nutcases.

My ancestors that came over in 1848 from Ireland.
Although I have a weird feeling they watch over us at dinner every night anyway
