Title: Double Jordan
Description: "When Thomas Jordan's aunt died in 2002, two generations of his paternal family tree were gone. But a visit with a cousin in Dunbar, West Virginia in 2008 forever altered his purpose in life and pushed him to find out about his father's family. Join Thomas on his journey as seemingly every day he made discoveries about his paternal family. He develops his genealogy skills and makes his first visit to the small community of Roberta, Crawford County, Georgia, the land of nativity for his paternal ancestors and family. He documents all eight of his paternal great-great-grandparents. His ability to connect dots and locate loved ones helps create the biannual Jessie Jordan reunion, comprised of relatives who are descendants of his great-great-grandfather Jessie Jordan Sr. (1817-1915). Through his ability to dissect obituaries and death notices, he makes a discovery about his connection to one of the most pivotal civil rights events in history." --
