We are both related to Chloe Kougias! Chloe is my 2nd cousin once removed on the Lawrence side. I am connected to you by 24 degrees. I enjoy your show!👏👏👏👏

I love your show! Especially how you reveal how connected the entire human race is! We are connected via marriage! So exciting to see!
I've been telling people for many years now that I think your shows have done more to improve white-black relations in America than anyone else. I mean, how can we be opposed when we realize we are one? We are all so much more closely related than we know, my own genealogy research has taught me. Thank you, and Spencer Wells' "Journey of Man" DNA study, for showing us all with your special brand of entertaining education how true that is.
I have been researching my family for 40 years and I am stuck at Silas Rawls, Sr. and Elizabeth (Bass) Rawls. Silas born 14 June 1751 and Elizabeth born 1762.
The first three generations from Silas to his son's Daniel (my line) and Silas, Jr. And their sons were Slave owners. I have been in touch with 4 or more descendants of slaves they owned and we are trying to reconstruct their families.
I have some good records but need more to help them.

so I don't know why wikitree no longer shows that connection.
I remember reading how Dr. Gates became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution based on this Redman ancestor.
update: never mind. I see now that Gates had 2 Redman ancestors. The SAR ancestor is through a Redman daughter. And it is still not known if Gates' male Redman ancestor is in any way connected to them. Would be great if wikitree could figure that part out :)
