Each week, I receive an email that lists my connection to famous people in a particular
niche of some sort. This week it is frontier notables. Per wikitree.com I am:

settlement of what is now Kentucky

California during the Gold Rush: from present-day Reno, Nevada, called the Beckwourth

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.
