Ancestry Family History

To know the future, you need to know the past or something like that, So I researched my family history and this is what I found. I was unable to get a lot of information on my mothers' Jordan side. So most of the info is from my fathers' Sanders side of the family. I joined ancestry.com 14 day free trial and this is what I have found so far.
