Willie Wood is Now Connected!

Question

It took over 200 profiles created. It was a journey from the District of Columbia through Virginia and Maryland and finally into South Carolina. It's hanging onto the main tree by the thread of one Find a Grave source.  I am continuing to add profiles as a way to find insurance in the form of more connections.

This is the second big branch I created while looking for a connection to an African-American. I kept thinking of Jackie Robinson and how many profiles it took for him. This takes much patience but is so rewarding in terms of how many can be connected along the way.

Willie Wood connects to Boris Lawrence Henson https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henson-3624  who is the father of actress Taraji Henson https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Henson-1727 I would appreciate it if her private profile can be connected to her father's profile.

Thanks, Margaret. I put in a request to get access to Taraji's profile. As soon as I have it, we'll get her dad connected.
