It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. 

I have some ancestors that were astronauts, black, bank robbers, musicians, politicians,
physicians, detectives, architects, actors, comedians.  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.
