    Berry Gordy Family Tree

    I found this very interesting however the picture of Thelma is actually Raynoma. I do not know if there are other inaccuracies but I am sure fellow forum members will point them out if they exist.

    I've known this for quite a while but never mentioned it. I feel if Berry wanted to acknowledge his relation to President Carter it would have been public long ago. Why he never did is his business, but I do find it all very fascinating.
