Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet (Chuck Yeager)

We all have to admit it that when we’re doing genealogy research to learn about our families’ histories, we secretly hope to find someone famous in our family trees. Or maybe not so secretly.

Wouldn’t it be cool to say, “I’m related to so and so”? We hope for it to be someone brave, who achieved something no one in the world had before and has a pretty high wow factor.

Since I was a young boy I’ve always been fascinated with airplanes and the men that flew them. Chuck Yeager has always been an interest of mine especially after learning that we’re both from West Virginia.  For most, it would be invigorating to be related to Chuck Yeager.
