This week we're looking at our connections to some famous folks from New Mexico, such 
as Wild West outlaw, Billy the Kid, and the lawman who took him down, Pat Garrett.  Per 
wikitree.com, I am:

21 degrees from William McCarty - Billy the Kid
16 degrees from Pat Garrett - involved in the westward expansion of the USA.
17 degrees from Thomas Blackburn - Western author.
25 degrees from Chris Calloway - singer
17 degrees from Kit Carson - frontiersman
19 degrees from John Denver - musician
19 degrees from Edwin Fullinwider - Olympian
19 degrees from Conrad Hilton - founder Hilton hotel chain
20 degrees from Val Kilmer - actor
22 degrees from Leslie Marmon Silko - author
20 degrees from Georgia O'Keeffe - artist
19 degrees from Lew Wallace - 10th Governor of New Mexico Territory

It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other.  I have 
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians, physicians, detectives, actors, 
comedians.  I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are.  WikiTree.com 
helps me gather this information with their weekly newsletters.

If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me

I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.
