Title: So I'm not Haitian, not Melungeon.
Post by: Ashley Bank$ on August 21, 2016, 11:03:33 PM
I feel the need to make this post because I really feel like I've made a fool of myself. I can admit that. And got very carried away with my own theories on what my family is, down there in North Carolina bored with nothing better to do. :dead:

I stepped away from it all, came back to NYC, took a breather , and looked at the DNA that I'd been ignoring the entire time. It kept saying that one of my grandparents are of Puerto Rican or Dominican descent, but I was too busy conjuring up my own grand stories of boat trips from Haiti and mess instead of looking into the shit that was right in front of my face.

And soon as I simply followed the facts that DNA presented, instead of my own conclusions, I immediately found paperwork to strongly support my DNA results, my maternal relatives indeed traveled between America and Puerto Rico. My grandmother is of Puerto Rican descent.

Details (DNA/records) here:
http://www.brandysource.net/index.php?topic=16291.msg654460#msg654460

And I just want to apologize, not to you guys but to myself. I was all over the place and I'm kind of embarrassed. So glad I just came back home. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has been coming together for me. :wub:

That's crazy though! Because it seemed like the perfect add up!

But none the less this discovery is amazing

i just didn't believe it. There was no way In the world that my family was part Hispanic. Like how? :dead:

To be honest I revisited the information once a Puerto Rican woman at my new job asked me what my ethnicity was. She said that she thought I was black and Dominican.

I think it's cuz I'm dark skin with curly hair.

I'm still a Dumas though. Don't get it twisted :watchit: The links I posted are documents of DeBerry and Dumas relatives traveling from North Carolina to Puerto Rico to die . I just got the island wrong.

I overthought the entire thing. The answers were right there but I didn't bother to research them. And researched everything else instead. And I am officially taking my "L". So everyone get ur kiis in now. Tbh I deserve it bdbdbdbdnfbnfbfbf

I just don't don't understand.

Oh ok, I see lol....so is black and Puerto your final answer?  :ATLcameo:

But is this the last time

I'm tired of hooking you up with trade and having to change it

"Oh she Melungeon with str8 hair!" "Oh she's a bad Native Amercan you'll like her"

I can work with Puerto Rican tho, at least your still mixed. Trade loves that.
