This week's Featured Connections are Manhattan Project members starting with
J. 
Robert Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb" and subject of a new
Hollywood 
movie.

Per wikitree.com I am:

21 degrees from J. Robert Oppenheimer

22 degrees from Luis Alvarez - a Danish physicist who received the Nobel Prize
in 
Physics in 1922 for his work on atomic structure and quantum mechanics and was
a 
member of the Manhattan Project.

Luis Alvarez was notable as a physicist and as an inventor. He won the Nobel
Prize for 
Physics in 1968 for a new invention - the Liquid Bubble Chamber which allows
scientists 
to take millions of photos of particle interaction during experiments.

23 degrees from Niels Bohr - a Danish physicist who received the Nobel Prize
in Physics 
in 1922 for his work on atomic structure and quantum mechanics and was a
member of 
the Manhattan Project.

21 degrees from Vannevar Bush - He was head of MIT 1919- 1938, President of
the 
Carnegie Institute and headed the Office of Scientific Research and
Development and 
National Defense Research Committee which administered the Manhattan Project
in 
WWII.

27 degrees from John Cockcroft - British physicist who shared with Ernest
Walton the 
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1951 for splitting the atomic nucleus, and was
instrumental in 
the development of nuclear power.

19 degrees from James Bryant Conant - He was involved in the administration of
the 
Manhattan Project

28 degrees from Albert Einstein

24 degrees from Richard Feynman - Richard Feynman was a theoretical physicist
best 
known for his contributions to particle physics, quantum mechanics, Quantum 
Electrodynamics and superfluidity. He was a joint recipient of the 1965 Nobel
Prize in 
Physics.

24 degrees from Isabella Karle - Worked for the Manhattan Project in WWII.

22 degrees from William Knox - William Jacob Knox Jr. was an American chemist
. He 
was one of the African American scientists on the Manhattan Project, and the
only 
African-American supervisor for the Manhattan Project.

31 degrees from Chien-Shiung Wu - Chinese-American particle and experimental 
physicist who made significant contributions in the fields of nuclear and
particle physics.

It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each
other.  I have 
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians physicians,
detectives, actors, 
comedians.  I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are.

If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by
giving me 
some basic information by going to:
https://www.hobbyline.com/genealogy_web_design.htm and click on the 'Request
Form' 
link.

I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family
history.
