Like 22% of my last name is black.
I bet they’re really mixed race.
Or they were owned by your family 😂
Racist cracker honky 😤
Probably. Lol
We’ve looked back at our family and they were all too broke to own any people
Already true on my mother’s side
If both sides of my family had ancestors who owned slaves it would make me even worse on the privilege scale.
Lol
You slave driver! I bet you’re a billionaire because of the work those kangz did 😤
Lol.
I had ancestors who died from cuts.
My grandfather was literally the last male in his family.
Died from cuts?
Yes. Got infected
Oh
My great grandparent was an orphan because of it.
Lol
Or something like that.
A brother and a sister.
My great grandmother had tons of siblings. I think that side had the relatives who owned slaves.
My dad’s side is a black hole of knowledge to me.
My dad says we’re French.
🙃
I don’t know much about my mom’s side but my dad’s side was relatively easy to look up because of the super rare last name. Came over in 1730s from the Palatinate in Germany when there was a big immigration wave
Wow. Cool.
It’s kinda nice knowing I guess. They were shipped here as indentured servants by the British empire to work in Pennsylvania. They ended up getting moved to South Carolina though and after they became free they moved west to east Alabama where there are still some today
I don’t wanna say where they live because it actually might doxx my last name
I understand.
That’s cool though
I’m not sure about everything in my mother’s family. I’m related to Robert e Lee apparently.
Don’t know how true that is.
Seems like something all southerners claim.
Yeah that sounds like a Warren-esque claim
To be fair, that was timewise around nine generations ago
Well, eight to count you
Yeah. He’s in the family tree
And I can see how the claim is made, but I’d rather trace the records myself
Genealogy is a noble pursuit
A holy pursuit, even
