Actress Vanessa Williams’ ancestors’ lives make for an interesting episode of NBC’s “WDYTYA.” She traces her roots back to two of her great-great-grandfathers, exploring their remarkable lives.

Williams starts her research by visiting her father’s grave in Oyster Bay, NY. She jots down information she finds on the headstones of her father’s family, including that of David Carll, her great-great-grandfather and a member of the 26th New York Colored Infantry in the Civil War.

Oh no. They are not in any of the photos you posted.

I was just saying the photos you posted are a few of my faves. I think they are posted in this thread already.

I wish I had photos of my ancestors who served in the USCT. I don't.
