Turns out I’m 1% black. Which is interesting but also a little sad for a few of my ancestors who had to hide it I bet. Probably won’t be able to find any official documentation in early the 1800s South to figure this mystery out. Anyone else had anything like this in their tree, and how did they research it? Also just anything else cool/interesting/weird?




And, yes, I know “don’t give your DNA away” I get it, just give stories if you’ve done it please.

Mine came back .8% African. I did the math and this was probably from the 1820s.

A male friend of our family from a few generations ago was in our family tree that shouldn't have been.

Naughty, naughty

I have all the telltale signs of being "melungeon" so I probably have a small percentage of a mixed bag of places.

1% is enough for all your family members to check the box for black when taking tests and applying for scholarships and such.

I’d imagine you’d qualify for future reparations payments as well.

Congrats.

Oldmanbeasley’s came back inconclusive which makes sense as the Beasley’s have always been a racially ambiguous people.
