[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work back from more recent generations. Marriage, birth and death records.[/quote] If this person was a slave, which seems likely, then records aren't likely to be of much use, are they? I guess I need to research how African American families do geneology. [/quote] Well, the records will get you somewhere because photographic evidence could get you to the first generation that "passed." Also, Ancestry.com has been working hard to beef up their records around African American descendants of slaves. You might also be able to use those 23 and Me findings to locate distant relatives. If those folks "remained" Black, they might have a better sense of the common ancestor. [/quote]
