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
