This week's Featured Connections are notable South Africans. I would have never
guessed that I would have links to persons in South Africa, but because I have a profile
on wikitree.com, they do all the research work for me.

I am:

18 degrees from J. R. R. Tolkien
22 degrees from Colin Graham Botha
26 degrees from Margaret Constance Cairns
25 degrees from Johannes August Heese
26 degrees from Floris van Jaarsveld
23 degrees from Edward John Morse Jones
25 degrees from Roelof Lombard
27 degrees from Miriam Makeba
24 degrees from Marjorie Diane Nash
26 degrees from Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef
36 degrees from Desmond Mpilo Tutu

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.

If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me
some basic information by going to: https://www.hobbyline.com/genealogy_web_design.htm and click on the 'Request Form'
link.

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