Since I was a little boy I had been told stories about where my family is from.  My Dad side were farmers and worked the lands were for the most part educated.  They came from a background of Native Americans from the Creek-Cherokee tribes and Susquehanna Tribes. My mother's sides were made up of Spanish Jews escaping the Spanish Inquisition, Mulatto slave owners and the family called Sasportas in South Carolina.  I am glad to know of my family history whichever way you look at it, without it I wouldn't be here.   I opened up an Ancestry.com account and I always want to know more and more.  I never really was one for just taking one side or opinion about something or someone.  This has allowed me to look and see for myself.  Genealogy has become a big interest to me and to know that one of my ancestors is a famous Jewish Rabbi from Spain, and I'm a relative of Cab Calloways.  It is great to uncover and learn the truth.  Thank you everyone ;-)
