Note from the author:

It is amazing to see how connected we are as a nation and as a people. I started out trying to find my Native American and  Jewish roots. I was frustrated at first because I could not find any of the people my great grandmother talked about before she passed. Well, a miracle happened, a wonderful genealogist helped me on this journey. Now, I have collected nearly 41,000 records and still search and verifying those records before placing them on my genealogical tree.
