Tracing family history is such an incredible journey, especially for those of us of African decent who may only have oral histories. I loved hearing your journey and how wonderful that the sale of the land financed your education! A full circle moment 💜

I’d like to add one more reference for any of African decent researching their history. AfricanAncestry.com can pinpoint our ethnicity and tribe either through paternal or maternal lineage. One test applies to the entire side of either your mom or dad’s family 😊
