Ever since I saw Alex Haley's Roots in the 70's I wanted to know my family's story. I recorded my family oral history and began researching. I ran into many brick walls due to ancestors changing their names, transcription errors in census records, secrets, and of course slavery. Thanks to DNA testing, I now have a better sense of who I am. If we are connected, I would love to know more about you and share what I know. I am enjoying this journey.
