    This is why I love being a WikiTreer. Genealogy buffs from around the world do the
    research, and the rest of us reap the benefits,

    I can assist anyone interested in researching their roots. Just let me know if you are
    interested.

    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.

    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.

    What is the lowest number of degrees you have found to someone you didn't already know you were related to?
