FORMATION has a whole new meaning for u now.

I'm about to empty my coins into this history search. You're really selling this, are they paying you or something?

Honestly I never took interest in genealogy until I perched here in the SOuth for a while.

In NYC we could careless who's what, everyone's something.

But down here where it's more simple..more Black and White ... literally. If they see someone out of line with the "ordinary" they will single you out quick. And start asking questions  "How do you get your hair like that? "

My sister was puzzled as well as to why I suddenly got so interested in knowing my family history. But It's only so many times that you're questioned..... accused of perming your hair and mess that you begin to ask what's going on for yourself.

My grandmother never sat around and talked about her heritage. So this is why I was like  when people would ask if I was Haitian (two people on here asked me that), or say I looked Dominican, or whatever. But it all makes sense now.

The Dumas family has ancestral roots in Saint Dominigue, which is now Haiti/DR. I got my answers and I cannot tell you how good it feels to really know who I am. And who my grandmother is.

Another member of my family who I found through DNA wrote an article on our heritage.

as you should be! I'm so excited for you!!! 

I can't wait to finally get my results omff It should be anyday now

btw, have you found out anything about your dad's side? I never see you talk about him regarding the ancestry DNA.

The Thackers, the Gowns, Dumas, Lilly, every one of these fucking surnames that he provided to me...that he knew to be of Melungeon descent...I searched them in my cousin matches and they all pop up as matches..and all have hits of North Africa/Portugal/Iberian Peninsula, NA and France in their DNA results

I'm sorry I'm just fucking amazed right now. This is crazy!
My mother's family is a fucking melting pot

My dad's family pretty much knows where they're from. Proud descendants of slaves. I tried to see if there was any story there but when I went back a couple generations, it stopped. Which is to be expected of a strictly African American family. Once you hit 1860 or so the trail stops. Unless you wanna learn the history of their slave masters. And I'm good on that

There's no romantic stories on his side. But I am damn proud of them.

I love bragging about my father's grandfather though. Everytime I go down to dad I'm kissing the land my strong Black great grandfather worked for and owned. They may not have glitz and glam, and ooh's and ahh's when it comes to their genealogy. but I get my heart from my father's side without a doubt.

And I also think being raised by my mother's family naturally tilts me more toward learning who they are. I've just recently connected to my father's family within the past couple years.
