Did you all know that Mount Vernon has an official actor to portray George Washington on their grounds, and all other George Washington interpreters and impersonators get turned away? His name is Dean Malissa, and here's a Forbes Magazine article about him. Well, AJ has invited him to the Global Family Reunion, and it would be interesting to see how closely we can connect Dean to George.
I've done a bit of work to spread out some branches from Dean, and his aunt's husband's family happened to connect to the tree of an active WikiTreer! But she isn't connected to AJ yet, either. There are at least 200 profiles branched out from Dean now, mainly centered around Eastern European Jewish immigrants to Philadelphia in the late 1800s/early 1900s. If anyone wants to help out, post here. (I've linked to Dean's grandfather Julius in the WikiTree ID for this question, because it is one of the easier starting points to search out from.)
