I swore I wouldn't dig into my great grandfather's (grandmother's father) side of the family (avoiding ANY research regarding European ancestry for obvious reasons). But I'm glad I did. My ancestor, Clifton DeBerry, was a popular civil rights activist and politician. He has his own Wiki mess :plzstop: He was closely associated with Malcolm X.
DeBerry is my mother's maiden name, and I found this information on our family's history page.

My mother's side of the family fucking slays. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
I'm so glad I stopped putting it off and finally dug in. My grandmother is going to be elated to hear this.
:ohwow:
No shade but I see a resemblance mess
R y'all rich?/
My great grandfather's family is originally from France (with African mixed in).
It's info on our family page that suggests relation to the King and Queen of France.
(I'll have to dig into this more before I can comfortably accept that).
A lot of this makes sense......
My mother's side of the family is full of professionals.
We have lawyers, teachers, ..... there's a lot of SMARTS on this side of the family
Not to say my paternal side is "dumb" , but you get what i mean. my dad's side is just more simple. Which is something I love (I was just singing my great grandfather's praises last night).

Where did I say traumatic? I simply asked a question because your posts and threads definitely have a theme these days. Maybe u should get off defense and come to the realization that just because someone isn't giving u the obligatory "CONGRATS!", doesn't mean they are attacking u :uhh:

Herb who is he to you?
I'm calling my grandmother tonight to get the exact relation, before I call it. But he's definitely part of my family, they kept very meticulous records of our history. I mean, down to the first arrival, to slavery, to relations, to why the name is spelled the way it is. :dead:
https://vsford.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/deberry-family-from-slavery-to-present-2/
They kinda did that. Just further testament of how organized they are. I wish I had some mess like this for my dad's side. Like everything, right there. :dead:
Even the address of the plantation where my ancestors worked :uhh:
wow that's so cool

You have such rich history. Wow

My father does genealogical research too, that's why I asked
It's a blessing what technology can do nowadays.
I'm not understanding the shady remarks in here and things.
One of our own is finding out just How rich, influential and strong his lineage is and you guys are kii'ing?
Niggers are REALLY something else....
Keep doing you sis; there are the few here that love and are inspired by your posts like this. I know I am ❤️
Can't wait to get my results so I can do the same.

ive gotten to my great great grandparents on my moms side
Discovered a cousin on my dads side thru ancestry DNA
Just got all the names of my paternal great grandparents
Tracking them down now hhhhhhh
Honestly I was too ashamed of the history on my mothers side with her grandfather. Cuz of the slave rape that I know of ... I was scared to look into it. But I'm so excited cuz soon as I started digging in today I find this beautiful piece of my family history.
This is perhaps the greatest thing I've found so far. I'm proud. As anyone who finds something like this should be :uhh:

Like wow. My relative running the streets with Malcolm? :plzstop:
Being targeted by the Feds? :plzstop:
I really was doing this for my grandmother but I ended up being blown away. Totally unexpected :uhh:
This is AMAZING . And inspiring to know the type of blood I have in my veins.
I can't wait to get home and learn more.
Honestly finding this made me reevaluate some things about myself. And that's where the value of family education lies!
Herb are you sure you wanna ask your grandmother? What if he was like a side nigga or somthin' :ohwow:
sssss
Af sis don't trust Stewie with your ancestry information
Something doesn't sit right about that nigger tbh

About 5 years now. It is intriguing, but I'm glad I don't have to do the research. :plzstop: He can call me when he finds a celeb in our fam' tree :butwait!:

The more I read , the more I am amazed and fucking inspired.
Clifton ran for president twice :stressed: he was the first black man to be elected by a political party to run for office.
:stressed: :stressed:
I'm glad my Granny pushed me to do this. I was so focused on great grandma Chief and very much gave a middle finger to anything that had to do with European heritage.
But in all this excitement, I also find sadness. I think I've found the pictures of the men who owned my ancestors. And now know the details of how they were given to their family members as part of land in a will.
Very bittersweet, but I knew I wouldn't find a bunch of roses and daffodils digging into this side of the family.
It's one thing to know these things existed, but it's another thing to possibly be looking at these people. :'(
