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.

I hope you're not leaning too much into the bank robber vibes :)

No, but as a police officer I arrested a few. No cousins though. Thank God.

Heh, this is not something I have had to deal with but am understanding of the predicament.
