This has important implications to gravitational wave astronomy, as GCs are understood to be efficient factories of merging BH-BH binaries. In this talk, I will examine ways BH populations influence the dynamical evolution and observable properties of GCs. In particular, I will present full-scale models of three Milky Way GCs known to contain stellar-mass BH candidates (NGC 3201, M10, and M22) and examine the total number of BHs retained in these clusters today. Additionally, I will explore the dynamical formation of gravitational wave sources in GCs that may be detectable by LISA.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>	</p>	<div>		 	</div></div>
