It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians, physicians, detectives,
architects, actors, comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL
are.
WikiTree.com helps me gather this information with their weekly newsletters.
If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me

I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.
