The Bird Man of Alcatraz

Or my great-great-great-great paternal grandfather Pedro.  He was the one who came over here from Barcelona with his wife Rosa.  I would want him to tell me all about his life in Spain and why he chose to come here and all that. 

Pedro and his brother were pirates, they both left Spain and moved to Biloxi, Mississippi.  Pedro found religion and got out of the family business.  My grandfather was the first one to leave Mi and moved to California were he raised his family.  Anyway, Pedro's brother continued in the family business and to this day the descendants of Pedro's brother are the rich and powerful family in Biloxi.  Pedro's descendants continued to have honest jobs and raise their families modestly.  So I have a whole slew of wealthy distant relatives living in Mississippi that I didn't even know about until about six months ago.  I love Ancestry.com
