EVERYBODIES background is mixed. Unless you're from some aboriginal tribe, your family DNA is probably a lot more mixed than you though. ESPECIALLY if your family has been in the US for any time...
The African American story is definitely more complex than even most AAs know. There were indentured servants from India brought to the East coast of the U.S. who mixed in with black people during the colonial period. They were referred to as East Indian Indians (Yes they wrote it twice so they weren't confused with Native Americans who they called Indians). There was also Africans of mixed Asian and Southeast bantu origin from Madagascar brought to the East Coast. In the South, in the Delta Region Mississippi and Louisiana a few hundred Chinese men married black women because there was few Asian women around and it was a law in some states that they couldn't marry white women. Again in the late 1800s-1900s Bengali men (eastern Pakistan) came by steam boat, some as merchants and they weren't allowed to marry white women so they married Puerto Rican and Black American women in Harlem and in Louisiana. Chilli from the singing group TLC is mixed with Bengali due to this history and some AAs are finding south Asian on their dna test now and are so confused. That doesn't even touch all the different types of Europeans who enslaved AAs; Swedish, English, Irish, Germans( In Texas and North Carolina), Scottish, French, Dutch (New York was originally Dutch speaking so Sojourner Truth first language was an old version of Dutch). And some of us indeed have indigenous ancestry I know people say it but some of us actually descend partially from native tribes who mixed with Africans.

I wonder if he meant tracy "even" knew his grandmother's mother in the sense of his great grandmother lived long enough to be able to meet him, or something else. It's interesting how names we associate with women were used as male names. His great grandmother could have left her husband for a variety of reasons. "Your great grand mother took up with another man and split", while plausibly accurate felt disrespectful especially when saying it to a person finding out for the first time. "I just wanna know how my great-great-grandmother got pregnant" is a whole conversation in itself. When he kissed the picture - Wow! I felt that. He would be proud of you Tracy.
Why do you feel it was disrespectful? Because a woman is being held accountable for her actions? She broke up her family and alienated her child from her father... happens all the time. She even lied to her descendants, she left him he didn't leave her.
@@roderickstockdale1678 just because its legal doesnt mean its right? she literally grew up and moved on. i like that tracy chose to think positively of both of them.
I think it meant that he met her. She was born in about 1917. Even if she only lived to be 60, she would have died in 1977 and Morgan was born in 1968.

My great-great grandfather is Irish, and we're not sure of the circumstances of how he and my great-great grandmother (black) got together in the mid-1800's south USA. It's not likely that it was a love union, but mysteries that like are pretty common in black American geneology.
Many Irish were indentured servants in 1800s, giving 7 years of work for their freedom in the 'new world', cheap labor for the British. I'm sure they would have worked with or around black people.
It could have been a love union. If you read up on irish indentured servants that were sent to America, you will find that that they often would often become life partners and have families with the black slaves. Even though the Irish were unpaid servants and were not slaves, these two communities did mix. It's a real interesting read...
Not at all, a lot of Irish came down south for work, mainly hard labor. A famous black southern person with paternal Irish heritage would be Mohammed Ali

My great great grandfather went on a merchant ship when he was 24 years and never came back .. people who traced the ship confirmed it reached its destination but he never made it back ,,so 20 years after that his kids went looking for him but discovered he never arrived to the said destination and there was no record of any fatalities on board the ship so he basically vanished without any trace or he might have changed his name and started a new life somewhere.
I discovered a couple of years ago my 52 year old great grandfather married my 19 year old great grandmother in 1920. I said to myself got dam as I was reading the 1930 Census.
I discovered they had married via 1930 Census. I don't know how long they were together. I do know he died decades before my great grandmother did. My great grandmother passed in the 1970's.

Felipe, in those days , it was unusual to be married at 14 . only a specific kind of girls had to be married off at that age . Toublemakers that is. we don't need to pretend it is anything but.
@@PHlopheNope, you obviously have not built your family tree, I have and I can assure you that before 1930 girls married at 15, 16, 17 years old, that was typical, and they married men in their mid 20s or 30s, sometimes widowers in their 50s. Marriages back then wete basically arranged by the parents, girls were pressured to marry before the age of 20, certainly by 25.
Today’s way of living is very different and new compared to what the norm was in most of life. Now today we baby people and they live in their parents basement into their 30s sometimes 40s.
@PHlophe - Huh? You're WAY off! People were supposed to be married with AT LEAST their first kid by their mid-20's back then. Only middle class people could wait to marry (after college or a good factory or government job). Life expectancy was tricky and families were needed to WORK- farming, share cropping, survival was a group effort. Girls who were over 18 and still at home were burdens, so they needed to marry OR work (share cropping, cotton fields, domestic work, laundresses or raising younger siblings).
My mother married my Father at fourteen when he was twenty four. Hes been dead thirteen years and she says she still loves him and will never have another man
this used to be pretty common, i think my grandma was like 17 when she got married and her mom (my great grandmother) was like 15 when she got married.. which would've been around ww1..
Getting Married at 15 was a normal thing to do back then, I’m 62 and I just found out last year that my mother was Married at 15 back in the early 40s. She kept it a secret.
Ezekiel 39:23 “And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.” Song of Solomon 1:5 “I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.” Song of Solomon 5:11 “His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.” Jeremiah 8:21 “For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.” Deuteronomy 28:37 “And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.” Isaiah 3:12 “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

Before my mother died, she tried hard pushing me to get my ancestry done, like there was something she wanted to tell me but didn't have the heart to, I wish now I did because I may have found something out that would probably change my life.... I'm actually scared of what I might find out, like was I adopted, was my father not my real father? Idk
What a strange comment? In what way would this be heartbreaking? Can you imagine someone saying this about your ethnicity or would you say this about any other ethnicity?
My great grandmother born 1928 and she died in 2017 was mixed, (white father black mother) growing up in the segregated south she married a Haitian immigrant and had my grandmother in the 50’s my grandmother married a man of AA and Dominican descent and had my mother.. I can track my family on my mom side back 5 generations well the white side can’t find too much on my great grandmother other side other than what she told me because how the south was set up at the time…
My GrandFather was 35 years older than my Grand mother. We found record of his first marriage and death of his two children, but not a divorce record He moved to Canada a married my Grandma in 1918. How do we look for that divorce record if there was one
I think most folks misunderstand how much more mature people *had* to be 3+ generations ago. A good example is child labor. It's not the same now at all, obviously. Just something to take into account. We've evolved into much softer humans.

What a strange comment? In what way would this be heartbreaking? Can you imagine someone saying this about your ethnicity or would you say this about any other ethnicity?
@bcx1138,
Be grateful that white men ALLOW you to live in a white nation.
My great grandmother born 1928 and she died in 2017 was mixed, (white father black mother) growing up in the segregated south she married a Haitian immigrant and had my grandmother in the 50’s my grandmother married a man of AA and Dominican descent and had my mother.. I can track my family on my mom side back 5 generations well the white side can’t find too much on my great grandmother other side other than what she told me because how the south was set up at the time…
It’s crazy that belonging to the street predated Future’s quote
😮 I would have never guessed this 🎉
Remember that back then it was very hard for a woman to get a divorce. They were basically property.
Carmen ponder after split from wife: "somebody's gonna get pregnant!"
One of his great-great-grandfathers. There are 8.
Super sweet 🥹🥰💕
Respect.
I wonder where does his relation to Nas come from.
My GrandFather was 35 years older than my Grand mother. We found record of his first marriage and death of his two children, but not a divorce record He moved to Canada a married my Grandma in 1918. How do we look for that divorce record if there was one
don't cry, be strong like they were... it hurts but to be expected...
I think most folks misunderstand how much more mature people *had* to be 3+ generations ago. A good example is child labor. It's not the same now at all, obviously. Just something to take into account. We've evolved into much softer humans.
I love how Henry mentioned she was 15 because no 15 year old should be married.
still love the lost family
