giving women the right to hold public office

Arkle, 3-time winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup

22 degrees from M˙cheal O Coileain - 20th Century Irish revolutionary

19 degrees from George Bernard Shaw - Nobel prize-winning playwright

people on the Underground Railroad

I have some ancestors that were actors, architects, astronauts, black, bank robbers, 
comedians, detectives, singers and musicians, politicians, poets, physicians, writers.  
I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are.

https://www.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:

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