I able to trace my paternal line all the way back. My paternal 6x great-grandfather to Belfast Ireland. My 5x great-grandfather fought in the American Revolution. My 5x great-grandfather was from West Africa, and he won his freedom before the Civil War, and I have an entire line in the early 1800s Illinois.

It’s crazy how when people look at skin color to decide how close white people are in your family line. They aren’t always as close as you think.

So true. My ancestry is all kinds of mixed. I even have hatian in there. The most recent update said I was “Creole, and from a Creole region” like DUH! lol I’m a New Orleans girl. It’s been decently spot on 🖤

cristina :

The deepest roots. My first enslaved ancestor who I can find was in the early 1700s. On my boricua side, it’s the 1550s. We are inherently a mixed race.
