Genealogy can be so emotional. I have cried many times in my search for family roots, for the hard life they had, and even when you finally find that elusive relative.

Tracy Mogan’s episode was so special . He is so I tuned to his ancestors . He acknowledges his deep spiritual connection to them and he knows he carries the Love, Blessings and Guidance with him . Some of know that connection and acknowledge that are ancestors are “ just on the other side “ waiting to assist us . More people should call out to them ❤️❤️❤️

Love this!!! I know the feeling Tracey!! Learning about your roots gives you so much strength and inspiration!

[MISNM]

It is always such a gut punch to learn what human beings had to endure at the control of such disgusting events in real time for them.

Very moving to learn about some of Tracy Morgan's lineage and their personal success in the face of disgusting hatred and manipulation.

They are again honored by sharing their experience.
