f Root of a different tree n Roots, Alex Haley traced his heritage to a Liberian tribesman, Kunta Kinte. A subsequent television miniseries dra- matized the lives of Kunta's descen- dents, slaves during colonial and civ- il war times. This show, the most watched in the history of television, inspired a wave of interest in genealogy, the an- cient science of studying family his- tory. The word genealogy is derived from Greek phrases meaning fam- ily and to speakl'-genealogy ori- ginally was an oral record of family 'Je Amateur genealogist Steve Rossman looks over ship logs recording his grandparents' arrival at Ellis Island.

As an active mem- ber of Randallstown's Theatre Association and Thespian Association, Steven Ross- man had landed five major roles during his 3 years at RHS. In Canterbury Tales Ste- ven sings with senior Laura Greene about their love. lineage. Later, genealogists main- tained pedigrees, or written records. Steven Rossman has been tracing his family's roots for seven years. He began his search after realizing that he had little knowledge of his fam- ily's background. A visit to the Na- tional Archives in Washington inten- sified this desire. He began to gather information on how to compile a pedigree. Genealo- gists must work backward from the present. Amateurs tend to ignore this ruleg instead they trace forward from a person of the same name who may be unrelated. Relationship between people must be proven. Good and bad features in ancestry, such as royal blood or bas- tardy, must be accepted. Steven started researching his grandparents. He wrote to the U.S. Immigration Bureau for a ship's log from Ellis Island. He needed this of- ficial document to verify the infor- mation he received from relatives. The bureau mailed him records which included his grandparents, ages at the time of their arrival in the U.S., their European home towns and descriptions of their physical traits. Steven mailed for his grandpar- ents' death certificates. These pro- vided him with names and birth dates of siblings and children. He has determined that his moth- er's grandparents and paternal grandmother came from Russia. His father's father is from Poland. Fur- ther research has revealed the occu- pations of his great-grandfather- -furrier, cantor fa teacher of He- brew reading and writingl, violinist and barber. Steven's recorded data is accompa- nied by early photographs and nine- teenth century documents. His search still continues. There's always more information-more to look for. In a few years he will com- pile records for his relatives, who have demonstrated an interest in his findings. He also plans to write a book. Steven feels that his work is worthwhile. After all, he now knows that his third cousin's niece is Bar- bara Streisand. 184fBounds-Cassidy
