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, 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.
