So some family members of mine have been going to town at Ancestry.com, filling in my family tree.  One of the cool tools that is has, if you have gotten your tree far enough back, is the ability to see who you are distantly related to that is famous (just deceased people unfortunately).

 

Notable entries for me are Humphrey Bogart, Agatha Christie, Walt Whitman, Sam Adams, "Wild Bill" Hickock, Mamie Eisenhower, John Wayne, Tom Thumb, Winslow Homer, Jane Austen, and Florence Nightingale to name a few.  And my fathers side of the family tree doesn't even go very far back yet, so more to come!

 

I posted the current list here.

I just moved my website to a new web server, so all previous blog posts are currently gone, and there is some content that got lost along the way.  Over the next week or so I will get the videos added back to the website, as well as the Natalee Holloway page I had up.

Although I created that Natalee page just for me to view one place that had all the latest news and updates, it very quickly became a very popular page on the internet. 700 people visited that page in January, showing there is still some strong interest in the case.  I will get it back up very soon.
