On September 17 in 1849, Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery. Just a little more than 100 years ago, she died - still suffering physically & emotionally from the beatings she received as a slave. A leader of the Underground Railroad, a Union Army armed scout and spy, a leader in the suffragist movement and so much more. This woman was amazing!

Harriet Tubman, born around 1822 in Dorchester County, Maryland, was an iconic African-American abolitionist and political activist. Renowned for her unwavering commitment to the pursuit of freedom, Tubman played a pivotal role in the Underground Railroad, a secret network of safe houses and escape routes that aided enslaved individuals in their journey to liberation.
Despite being born into the harsh realities of slavery, Tubman's indomitable spirit and determination led her to escape bondage in 1849. However, she refused to rest until her loved ones and countless others were freed from the shackles of slavery as well. Over the course of several daring missions, Tubman became known as the "Moses of her people," guiding and protecting numerous slaves through dangerous territories to the safety of Northern states and Canada.
Beyond her vital work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, Tubman continued her fight for justice and equality, actively participating in the women's suffrage movement and advocating for civil rights for African Americans. A true symbol of courage, resilience, and selflessness, Harriet Tubman's remarkable legacy continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the power of determination and the fight for freedom.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
