   Every week, members of the world-wide group of genealogists get together to   
   research    
   a particular project. This week's project, and my Featured Connections are   
   Georgia    
   notables.  I am:   
      
   20 degrees from Jimmy Carter - 39th President   
   of the United States   
      
   28 degrees from Charles Douglass -  in Macon County; operated the Douglass   
   Theatre.   
      
   19 degrees from Walter George - President pro tempore of the US Senate   
      
   17 degrees from Joel Harris - wrote novels, narrative histories, translations   
   of French    
   folklore, children's literature, and collections of stories depicting rural   
   life in Georgia   
      
   19 degrees from Alonzo Herndon -  African American millionaire; one of the 29   
   founders    
   of the Niagara Movement.   
      
   18 degrees from Crawford Long - He claimed to have been the first doctor to   
   have used    
   ether as an anesthetic in surgery   
      
   22 degrees from Jefferson Long - a United States congressman from Georgia. He   
   was    
   the second African-American sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives and   
   the first    
   African-American congressman from Georgia.   
      
   18 degrees from William McIntosh - led a group that negotiated and signed a   
   treaty in    
   1825 to cede much of remaining Creek lands to the United States in violation   
   of Creek    
   law. Because of this, for the first time, the Creek Indian Council ordered   
   that a Creek be    
   executed for crimes against the Nation.   
      
   18 degrees from Quillian Meaders - an Appalachian folk artist / potter best   
   known for    
   face jugs   
      
   23 degrees from Jackie Robinson - baseball player for the Brooklyn Dodgers   
      
   19 degrees from Samuel Rumph - his work led to Georgia's nickname as the Peach    
   State.   
      
   20 degrees from Hedy West - Prize winning Appalachian ballad and folk singer   
   whose    
   songs highlighted blue collar mountain workers like farmers and coal miners.   
      
   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.
