10.1	Barbara Walters and Geoffrey Canada	For former slaves, choosing a last name was one of their first acts of freedom. For Jewish immigrants, it was a way to fit in their new country. Whatever the reason for a name change, it can make the process of learning about one’s ancestors difficult, if not impossible. The missing links in the family histories of media legend Barbara Walters and educational superstar Geoffrey Canada are unearthed. Walters did not know her father’s real last name. Canada did not know the name of his grandfather. Both of them had been unable to access their history…until now. WEB LINK	103	WE	06/20/12	02:00am	00:56:46	(RPT)	(CC)	×	ST
