FAMILY HISTORY- SANTA CLAUS' TOMB HAS BEEN DISCOVERED- AND YOU CAN VISIT- Archaeologists claim to have found the grave of Saint Nicholas beneath a church in Turkey
Kids, don’t let anyone tell you Santa Claus isn’t real. Or, more accurately, that he wasn’t real.
When we’re talking about Santa Claus, we are, of course, really talking about Saint Nicholas of Myra: a bishop who lived from AD 270 to 343. He’s the guy that the Santa Claus myth is based on, thanks to his reputed habit of distributing gifts to the poor and needy. And he is apparently buried under St Nicholas...

I WAS ALWAYS CURIOUS ABOUT WHERE HER NAME CAME FROM, AND HOW DNA TELLS THE STORY
Caryn Elaine Johnson was born in Manhattan, New York City, on November 13, 1955, the daughter of Robert James Johnson Jr. , a Baptist clergyman, and Emma Harris, a nurse, and teacher. She was raised in the public housing project, Chelsea-Elliot Houses, in NYC.
She has stated that her stage forename ("Whoopi") was taken from a whoopee cushion: "When you're performing on stage, you never really have time to go into the bathroom and close the door. So if you get a little gassy, you've got...

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND OUR FIRST MASS INOCULATION
George Washington's military genius is undisputed. Yet American independence must be partially attributed to a strategy for which history has given the infamous general little credit: his controversial medical actions. Traditionally, the Battle of Saratoga is credited with tipping the revolutionary scales. Yet the health of the Continental regulars involved in the battle was a product of the ambitious initiative Washington began earlier that year at Morristown, close on the heels of the victorious Battle of Princeton. Among the Continental regulars in the American Revolution, 90 percent of deaths were caused by disease, and...

JUNETEENTH
The Galveston article above contains the exact order given by Major General Granger, that we now celebrate as Juneteenth.
The article to the left had appeared in Columbia, SC, a few days earlier and is similar.
The exhortations in the orders are, in essence, saying, you are free and equal now. The military can no longer support you in our camps. You need to figure out a way to make a living, improve yourself and your family, and be a good citizen.

It's All Relative
Having researched thousands of families over the years, we at Dancestors have collated all this research & narrative material into a single database containing over 2.5 million words, and is over 4,000 pages!
Likely, we've already researched much of YOUR family in the process!
You see, back in 1630 there were only about 4,000 people in America so if you exclude folks that didn't have descendants, and use the average household size, that's only 40 or so families at the time. Are you related to one of those? Likely!
Of course, each decade the population grew tremendously.
In finding YOUR legacy, our...
