Has anybody ever traced their roots? How far back have you made it? Do you have any tips that could help anybody else with their search.
Just from the things I know aboutmy moms side of the fam and what my maternal grandmother has told me, Her roots trace back to some slaves and Blackfoot Native Americans... My great grandfather ( my grandmother's dad....OBVIOUSLY ) was a full blooded Blackfoot and my greatgrandmother was a regular black woman and I believe my great great great grandmother was a ****...I think I got the generations right.
As far as my maternal grandfather...all of his people are white...I dont know exactly...but everybody is lite skinned with gray eyes and got a white grandmother or grandfather in just about every generation. But my grandfather is a black man who looks mixed cause he is so lite with gray eyes. I believe he is 3/4 black 1/4 white.
As far as my dads family...I dont know sh*t about them cause his mom died b4 I was born and couldnt tell me nothin...and I never knew my grandfather. All I know is that my paternal grandmother was multiracial...she was black, french, puerto rican, and cherokee indian. While my grandfather was just black. I have a lot of Puerto Rican blood in me on my dads side cause I have alot of half puerto rican cousins and whatnot...
All I know is that Ima n*gga just like everybody else.
