Speaking of Family

A couple of months ago I met a relative over the phone. It turns out his name is Jawanza. His proper name is Roger Preston. His mother was Mae who was one of Bernice Jones, and Eddie Gill's sisters. They are connected on Grandma Rosa's side. His Grandmother was Aunt Cora, who was sister to Grandma Rosa. Just to show how interesting this is Jawanza didn't think he had many relatives until our meeting. He has 5 daughters and lives in the D.C. area. Since our initial conversation he asked me to help him with the other side of his family through Ancestry.com. He was amazed, and amused. By the way Jawanza produces a radio show by the name of "Satula"which airs on WOL am radio at 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays. You can tune in online at Wolam.com. The show deals with health issues, holistic medicine, and the likes. I was glad to meet him, he was so elated to have more family. So if you live in D.C. or that area you've probably heard him on the radio. Another cousin! Small, small world. I've included a link to the site to the left.
