I commend you for how far you have gone in yours.

Being the youngest of twelve children, with dad being born in 1894 and mom in 1906 I got so much information stored in my then little brain,which made my research easier. I just had to validate names and from that I was able to go back to 1580 Ndunga Africa. Today it is Angola. I learned a lot, shared a lot, and today cannot wrap my mind around what my ancestors and relatives went through to become apart of this American Tapestry. Especially,<br />after slavery, when the Black Codes were put into place. After learning and reading about the Black Codes, teaching History I then understood, why so many Southern Black Communities were behind the tracks. Please continue to pass on your information, as I do to help our younger relatives to appreciate their roots more.Velmanoreply@blogger.com
