How I'm Related To Charles Dickens

[javaflower28]

Family geneology documents have it that, when Charles Dickens visited America, he ran into Sheriff Uriah Dickens, my great, great, great, great grandfather, and they started talking about their family history and eventually figured out they were related, third cousins once removed. Since then there has been alot of research on the Halifax N.C. Dickens (Uriah's branch) and the Charles Dickens branch.
