My mother did all the genealogy for her ...Have fun! My mother did all the genealogy for her ancestry and my father's after she retired from "the State," so there's nothing left I could do except a few very difficult lines. <BR/><BR/>She's been trying to get the only son of her only (late) brother to take this test you just did, in the hopes of clearing up an old mystery. Supposedly, my great-great grandfather along that line was black; a neighbor told my grandmother before her wedding that her groom was a wonderful man, smart and hardworking and handsome, "but aren't you worried that your children will all turn out coal black?" (the old Dinah Shore analogy). "Not especially," she answered. This kind of makes sense because my mother can't find the surname anywhere.<BR/><BR/>According to some variations of the tale, my female ancestor was pregnant by a married man, and this black man offered to marry her, in that his matrimonial prospects in a rural white area were otherwise not good and she was pretty good wife material except for the otherwise out-of-wedlock child. This also kind of makes sense because this particular great-grandfather was blue-eyed, pale, and pasty.<BR/><BR/>Then again, maybe it's all nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791979.post-1153282893883113062006-07-19T00:21:00.000-04:002006-07-19T00:21:00.000-04:00you are just awesome in every way!Can I put this i...you are just awesome in every way!Can I put this in my myspace blog?
