Theodore Roosevelt Jr. New York, United States Oct 27, 1858 - Jan 6, 1919

After President William McKinley was assassinated in September of 1901, 6 months into his second term, Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him to become the 26th President of the United States. A Republican, he is usually ranked as one of the 5 best Presidents. He was awarded the Medal of Honor (he led the Rough Riders in the Spanish American War after resigning as the Asst Secretary of the Navy) and a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 (for successfully brokering an end to the Russo-Japanese War). A lifelong naturalist, Roosevelt made conservation a top priority for his administration, and established many new national parks, monuments and forests. He championed the Square Deal set of domestic policies which promised citizens fairness, breaking of trusts, regulation of railroads, and pure food and drugs. A champion of progressive policies continuing into his 2nd term, he started construction on the Panama Canal and generally focused on Central America in his foreign policies. After his two first terms, he founded the Bull Moose Party (which called for wide-ranging progressive reforms) and ran again for President in 1912. Splitting the vote, he lost and Democrat Woodrow Wilson won.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
