Isn't it nice that Maya Angelou is 45 steps from AJ?

'Twas hard to make that a question, but I have connected Dr. Angelou to AJ.

This whole thing is balanced on the book (and PBS show) by Henry Louis Gates Jr. In Search of Our Roots .

With that exception, the documentation out to George Light-742 is mine. From there someone might want to check, because that is all part of the 65% connected bit.

My web of documentation is pretty good, though preliminary. It is a web of births, marriages, census data, books, and a few newspaper articles.

This was great fun, and like most genealogical probing, a journey through communities I had never imagined.

Yay! Awesome work Toby! Thanks so much for connecting Maya to the big ol' family tree.
She's down to the 35 steps now! I love how all the connections get shorter as our tree gets more connected.
