   It's National Parks Week in the US, so we're looking at people who have   
   promoted and    
   persisted in the development of national parks around the world.  The Featured    
   Connections today are champions of park preservation.   
      
   I am:   
      
   16 degrees from Theodore Roosevelt - promoter of national parks and eponym of    
   Theodore Roosevelt National Park   
      
   22 degrees from Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger - South African President

   Kruger, promoter and eponym of Kruger National Park   
      
   18 degrees from George Catlin - artist who promoted the idea of national parks   
   in the    
   US   
      
   18 degrees from Marjory Douglas - worked to save the Everglades (US) and   
   create a    
   national park there   
      
   25 degrees from Sueko Embrey - part of the concentration camp during World War

   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.
