• Notables from New Mexico

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Wed Jan 24 12:00:44 2024
    This week we're looking at our connections to some famous folks from New Mexico, such
    as Wild West outlaw, Billy the Kid, and the lawman who took him down, Pat Garrett. Per
    wikitree.com, I am:

    21 degrees from William McCarty - Billy the Kid
    16 degrees from Pat Garrett - involved in the westward expansion of the USA.
    17 degrees from Thomas Blackburn - Western author.
    25 degrees from Chris Calloway - singer
    17 degrees from Kit Carson - frontiersman
    19 degrees from John Denver - musician
    19 degrees from Edwin Fullinwider - Olympian
    19 degrees from Conrad Hilton - founder Hilton hotel chain
    20 degrees from Val Kilmer - actor
    22 degrees from Leslie Marmon Silko - author
    20 degrees from Georgia O'Keeffe - artist
    19 degrees from Lew Wallace - 10th Governor of New Mexico Territory

    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.

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