Alex Da' Paul Lee - Researching the Ancestors & Connecting with Descendants

Join Janice and Cherekana for a conversation with Alex Da' Paul Lee.  Alex is passionate about conducting family research and connecting with all of the descendants of his ancestors.  He will share some of the extensive work he has done, what he is currently working on and what compels him to search relentlessly for accurate information regarding his ancestors.

Alex Da’ Paul Lee, Sr., is a native of Beaumont, Texas and is a graduate of Beaumont Central Medical Magnet High School. In college he was pursuing a degree in Musical Education and History at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas. During summer break he took a trip to Eunice, Louisiana, and there he met with a great Aunt, saw a photo of his Great grandfather for the first time and began researching his family history. During his research, he has preserved thousands of family photos, documents and conducted numerous interviews.  He’s connected with thousands of relatives through social media and his mission is to preserve and archive as much history as possible.

Alex has done several news interviews, written articles for several magazines, gone viral on social media, and given genealogy presentations at private family gatherings, State Parks, and Universities. His research continues to expand daily and he’s looking forward to meeting as many people as he can, especially those who share his passion for genealogy and history!
