Historic Family Members, My Roots, and What I Can Learn

HISTORIC FAMILY MEMBERS
I do have several other historic family members from World and American or U.S. History. If I were to mention their names, you would know them. Some, I am a direct descendant. Some I am an indirect one.
Here are just a couple: Nero, Charlemagne, President Benjamin Harrison, Sir Walter Raleigh, the Plantagenet Family, the Tudors, etc.
There are a great deal more. I've had the good and bad in my family. Look at Nero, for instance. He fiddled as Rome burned. Then, there's the positive stories. I've also had several in the American Revolutionary War, including a father and his twelve sons. I've had brothers who fought in the Civil War on the side of the North and of the South. My family has been part of ever war the United States has had.

HOW FAR DO MY ROOTS EXTEND?
I can trace my family back as far as 23 BC--and maybe earlier.

THIS IS WHY I CAN LEARN A GREAT DEAL ABOUT HISTORY FROM MY FAMILY
My family has been there, done that, you might say. Thus, this is why I want to do a study of American and World History, as I learn about my family, and journal about all of this. I want to write a memoir that describes the process and share it with my living family and have it for future generations. But, I also want to share it with the world. I have a unique corner in history and want to share it.
This is my story of how I learned about history, through my family tree, and how this information transforms me, my life, and my family today and tomorrow.
