We are both related to Chloe Kougias! Chloe is my 2nd cousin once removed on the Lawrence side. I am connected to you by 24 degrees. I enjoy your show!👏👏👏👏

Give the Doctor his due! He is a PhD, and that should be reflected in his profile!

Hi, Connie - Dr. Gates manages his own profile. We can't make changes to it. :)

Mr. Gates,

I love your show! Especially how you reveal how connected the entire human race is! We are connected via marriage! So exciting to see!

Mr. Gates,

I've been telling people for many years now that I think your shows have done more to improve white-black relations in America than anyone else. I mean, how can we be opposed when we realize we are one? We are all so much more closely related than we know, my own genealogy research has taught me. Thank you, and Spencer Wells' "Journey of Man" DNA study, for showing us all with your special brand of entertaining education how true that is.

According to wiki tree we are related through the Bybee family.

I have been researching my family for 40 years and I am stuck at Silas Rawls, Sr. and Elizabeth (Bass) Rawls. Silas born 14 June 1751 and Elizabeth born 1762.

The first three generations from Silas to his son's Daniel (my line) and Silas, Jr. And their sons were Slave owners. I have been in touch with 4 or more descendants of slaves they owned and we are trying to reconstruct their families.

I have some good records but need more to help them.

Thank you again, Dr. Gates, for allowing us to work on your amazing branches! It was an honor, and I hope that you find many surprises in those ancestor profiles.

Dr. Gates has proven his line back to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Redman-1429

so I don't know why wikitree no longer shows that connection.

I remember reading how Dr. Gates became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution based on this Redman ancestor.

update: never mind. I see now that Gates had 2 Redman ancestors. The SAR ancestor is through a Redman daughter. And it is still not known if Gates' male Redman ancestor is in any way connected to them. Would be great if wikitree could figure that part out :)

Here is a link to another family that has census households with some of the same names in Prof. Gates lines (David Redman in 1850 and a Coleman in 1870) ...

I just noticed that 2 of his parents shared ancestors with the last name of Redman. His parents were 4th cousins. They both share 3rd great grandparents John Redman (Redman-1429) and Sarah Day (Day-5585).

Mr. Gates "Finding Your Roots" show taught me a few things about genealogy. His knowledge of genealogy is commendable.
