re: Genealogy and Census Mistakes

There is a mark next to the persons name on a census that provided the info to the census taker. Place of birth discrepancies easily explained by a young adult answering the door but having no idea where mom was born.
As to the Negro…. You simply have the wrong person. For example there were two men in Indiana with the exact same name One was my GG Grandfather. One was a black barber.

Another census listed a great grandfather as Negro. I don't think so
germans

His parents were both German
fyi Not impossible for German immigrants to be both a male German may have been stationed in Africa, married and ,could not live back in Germany
try to spin it and accept the next grandkid that the genes skipped 4 genations

Our family is overwhelmingly British isles with a little German and French. My wife had been told that one of her great, great grandmothers was cherokee(I know, Cherokee princess). We get results, and I turn out to have 0-1% Ghana ancestry while wife turns out to be almost 100% English with no native american. She and her sister were crushed.
Everyone I grew up with had a tale about a full blooded Indian great grandmother, including my family. When my DNA results come back, 0 Native American

No way. I am utterly certain it was my great grandfather. The rest of the information is spot on.
Plus his name was not exactly common - Simon P. Loebe. And before you jump to conclusions (as I once did) he was a Catholic. My DNA results also indicated zero percent Jewish.
