      TID: PX/Win v7.0 PX36-1252M       MSGID: 3:712/1321.5 da1e07bc       TZUTC: -0400       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.              Mike Dippel               --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v7.0        * Origin: The Hobby Line!
