OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I just found....there is an entire CITY named "DeBerry" , my mom's maiden name, which sits right on the border of Louisiana in Texas!!!

:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:

my mind is officially BLOWN :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when:

I doubt it .  :nowgorl:

This is so crazy though, I ALWAYS thought my mom's side of the family had so much mess going on racially. This one was this, he was that, she was this,  :melmel:  but it all makes sense now. Creoles are like one of the most admixed groups of people ....

this is why people can't figure out where my siblings comes from ..asking if she's West INdian and mess, and calling me Haitian ssssss or asking if I have indian in the family....

I think u guys thought I was making it up, but people really ask me what I'm mixed with, or where I am from. once I started growing my natural hair it was a problem....ive even been accused of jeri curls or perm :dead: .... but we were raised as black Americans. my grandmother wasn't sitting around talking about her heritage. But maybe that's because she didn't know much. I kept wondering why she was so pushy about me looking into her dad's side of the family.

it is a lot of fucking MESS ..wait til she finds out there's a city named after her

I've finally found the last piece of my ancestral puzzle. :stressed:

I'll begin with this picture. This is my great great great Grandmother, on my mother's side.

She was of French and Black descent, and was a DeBerry (a Northern French name -- my mother's maiden name.)

Looking at this, you can clearly tell she was not enslaved. And possibly had some wealth, even. I later learned the term for what she was, which is a free person of color.

"Free people of color" was a term most used in FRENCH colonies.



I decided to look up the details of the free people of color:

When I looked it up @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_people_of_color

I kept seeing one word keep popping up: Haiti. The French actually had colonies in Haiti where a lot of these free people of color existed.

I was like whoa :calmdownsis: Because I remembered these words...

Quoteyour features remind me of this Hatian girl from NYC that I went to school with. She had the prettiest chocolatey skin with this LONG beautiful wavy hair and her brother was so sexy

I would have NEVER thought to look there for anything, because my family is not "Caribbean".

When I say my mouth DROPPED. I totally forgot how closely Haitian and French relations were!

She was basically Creole. :wub: :wub:

My mother's DNA is strong as fuck. :rudone:
:howfestive:  :howfestive: omgwow its amazing how strong genes can be. I was amazed how much you look like your great grandmother. I wish I had your patience & dedication  to sit down and really see where my family is from
You give a Congo tea

I literally screamed at this.  :kii: :plzstop: :kii:
