   This week's Featured Connections are Manhattan Project members starting with   
   J.    
   Robert Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb" and subject of a new   
   Hollywood    
   movie.   
      
   Per wikitree.com I am:   
      
   21 degrees from J. Robert Oppenheimer   
      
   22 degrees from Luis Alvarez - a Danish physicist who received the Nobel Prize   
   in    
   Physics in 1922 for his work on atomic structure and quantum mechanics and was   
   a    
   member of the Manhattan Project.   
      
   Luis Alvarez was notable as a physicist and as an inventor. He won the Nobel   
   Prize for    
   Physics in 1968 for a new invention - the Liquid Bubble Chamber which allows   
   scientists    
   to take millions of photos of particle interaction during experiments.   
      
   23 degrees from Niels Bohr - a Danish physicist who received the Nobel Prize   
   in Physics    
   in 1922 for his work on atomic structure and quantum mechanics and was a   
   member of    
   the Manhattan Project.   
      
   21 degrees from Vannevar Bush - He was head of MIT 1919- 1938, President of   
   the    
   Carnegie Institute and headed the Office of Scientific Research and   
   Development and    
   National Defense Research Committee which administered the Manhattan Project   
   in    
   WWII.   
      
   27 degrees from John Cockcroft - British physicist who shared with Ernest   
   Walton the    
   Nobel Prize in Physics in 1951 for splitting the atomic nucleus, and was   
   instrumental in    
   the development of nuclear power.   
      
   19 degrees from James Bryant Conant - He was involved in the administration of   
   the    
   Manhattan Project   
      
   28 degrees from Albert Einstein   
      
   24 degrees from Richard Feynman - Richard Feynman was a theoretical physicist   
   best    
   known for his contributions to particle physics, quantum mechanics, Quantum    
   Electrodynamics and superfluidity. He was a joint recipient of the 1965 Nobel   
   Prize in    
   Physics.   
      
   24 degrees from Isabella Karle - Worked for the Manhattan Project in WWII.   
      
   22 degrees from William Knox - William Jacob Knox Jr. was an American chemist   
   . He    
   was one of the African American scientists on the Manhattan Project, and the   
   only    
   African-American supervisor for the Manhattan Project.   
      
   31 degrees from Chien-Shiung Wu - Chinese-American particle and experimental    
   physicist who made significant contributions in the fields of nuclear and   
   particle physics.   
      
   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    
   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.
