    Hi George,
    Nice to see you on this website! I hope you remember me from the American Museum of Natural History where we both did the 1 day exhibit in January 2007. I now work with a graphic designer from Guyana.

    Hello George,
    Your name caught my attention...its my grandfather's name. Although he was a Machusi, his wife was an Ariguna....they both passed away - but we could be related :)

    I just happened upon your page after posting on some blogs and I came to see you're from Guyana. My Lady is Guyanese of East Indian descent and she did get to spend some time with the Arawak of Guyana. Although she's not Native, for the past 4 years we've been together, she's learned more of My Native ancestors, just like I've learned of her roots. She's from West Coast Demarara, Anacaterina. I look forward to going to Guyana, and meeting my Native brethren there!!! I would love to stay in touch!!! Your new friend (I hope)
