    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.
