Hello Geni Cousins,
First, the big event is coming up scarily soon. Thanks to all of you for making it a reality.
Second, I'm supposed to go on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC on Saturday, and I thought it'd be nice to connect to her if possible. I looked and she doesn't seem to have a Geni profile yet. So I don't know if it will happen.
But I thought it was worth a try!

A.J. Jacobs I have a Geni path to Melissa but it's not reaching you yet.

Still working on it ... If I can't find a more direct route, I'll try "walking the path" from her > me > you

@Melissa Harris-Perry When I started seeing Melissa on MSNBC I thought "aha! a kindred spirit - now I know she's really kin!

Marjorie - this tree has so many possibilities to connect with many more. She's not kidding that her family is "an American story.".

Please feel free to contribute, there's a lot to do.

Here's a link to a clip of the show, not sure how long it stays up:

I enjoyed it. It was light & fun but with a serious undertone.

I am also envious of Melissa's LDS tree with everyone. Why isn't it on Geni? If Melissa would just tell us those grandparents (we got the other side) we could connect her to Glenn Beck!

A.J. Jacobs,

Can you ask Melissa for those names?
