My family is 100% italian. We can trace our heritage back to italy/sicily with my grandparents themselves or my great grandparents actually being born there. So, no slavery possibilities in my family. Nobody in my family was in America during that shite.
You?
You?

My family was here. One side fought for the north. One for the south. I'm clean

Nope. All four sets of my great-grandparents came over before World War I, all went through Ellis Island.

My family has been traced back to the 1100s. My ancestors arrived in America around 1640ish. There are zero ties to slavery in my lineage.
ETA: Why the downvotes? Jealous because your family is tainted with the sad, pathetic history of slave owning scum? Not unusual for Loseriana people.

Nope.
All 8 great grandparents came through Ellis Island in early 1900s.
I've got a boring genealogy.
I don't owe these people a damn thing.

Don’t know, don’t care. I am sure someone came from somewhere on a boat. I was born in the last few decades. DGAF where a relative 250 years ago came from or what they did. I am here now and trying to make money and plow broads.

One of the first patnuhs to the US came here to pay off a debt as a servant. That’s not slavery, but we were a long way from running Tara or Twelve Oaks.

Not extensively. One side of my family is from the St Augustine, FL area and one family member there owned one slave in the mid 1800's. It was a female slave that kept the house running from what my cousin who researched it could gather. She had a kid at some point, but he couldn't find anything on the kid, nor really anything on this slave having a husband. He thinks she fled shortly after that family member died.

Yes. My family owned slaves in Baton Rouge. Not too far from LSU actually.
I have some blueprints that A. Hays Town did of our original property on River Road and it has slave quarters on it.
Shitty part of history, but part of history nonetheless.

Slavery was around long before the mid 1800's so we ALL have ties to slavery.

My paternal side came here from France in 1782, settled along Bayou Lafourche. Sold the property to a future plantation owner (Laurel Valley) who came here from Virginia. They lived, and up to modern day, in the same slave shacks as the slaves.
My maternal side came here from England sometime post-civil war. Settled somewhere in North Mississippi. Not much is known about that side, a lot of weird ppl, but smart. Great Grandfather made dentures by hand (also a dentist), so says a lot about the weirdness.
No ties.

My great-great-great-great grandpa served in the militia during the American Revolution, moved to Avoylles Parish and became a slave owners.

My family most definitely owned slaves. I've been to a plantation named after my family. Met some descendants of their slaves.
I am proud that those people were very good at shooting, sailing, and kidnapping. Looking at the current generation, I can tell you that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

My family was extremely poor. My dads side is eastern European, and got the black hair and skin. We have always been in a weird spot.

My family came from Westover plantation in WBR on one side and White Castle (think 150 years ago) on the other.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions. Doesn't mean I think it was cool or OK.
