Julie Bowen: Who do You Think You Are?

Actress Julie Bowen from the Television Show Modern Family was the subject of this weeks Who do you think you are? They went into two of her ancestors on her Mother’s side, one who they call Big Charley. Who is Julie’s Great-Grandfather who during World War one was the head of agency that rounded up German-Americans that some thought was a threat and put them in camps. This is a dark part of American History I didn’t Know about and I have read Howard Zinn’s books so I know a little about that side, but this is a new one on me.

          Another one was Julie’s 4^th times Great-Grandfather on her Mother’s father’s side who was a doctor in Pennsylvania before the Civil War. He ran the local underground railroad. So he was one of the good guys who was fighting the dark side of American History.
