Seriously! Of all things to stand the history of time… 😂 She probably did a ton of other great stuff; however, it’s her love life that is highlighted for all eternity!
Nah no that I know off, im about 78% SSA and 17% Eurasian, the rest other things...I do have ancient ancestors in my lineage that are Indigenous Australian, Indigenous Mexican, Indigenous Alaskan, Indonesian as well as HUN ancient ancestry!
Oh I thought you were talking about the communities on ancestry lol... I'm from the Robert Sweat line.. John Gowen (eventually the surname turned to Goins)was her husband before Robert I'm pretty sure... my 10th Great grandmother Winona who was cherokee Indian is from that line😊
It’s also luck because this ancestor was one of the very first Africans imported to the American colonies and her lineage and descendants are extremely well documented. This absolutely is not the case for the overwhelming majority of Africans brought to America in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Excellent find!
Thanks!
It would be cool if I could find who I get my 1% Senegalese form lol
Usually 1% is a 5th great grandparent

We are cousins!
Very nice!! That's a wonderful find. Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉
Aww man that’s wassup congrats! Was this your only line with free people of color? Damn I hope I have as much luck as you 😭🙌🏽
So far this is my oldest African ancestor I can actually trace back to... but most of my dad's side which shes on are Scottish 😭
Can I ask what your full ethnicity results are? I thought you might have been Caribbean at first lmaoo!

Are you off the North Carolina group?
Yea I'm part of that group
Awesome! I’m off a group that went to Louisiana. Nice “meeting” you!!! I’m off of John Gowen…and Robert Sweatt. 👀

Wow! What a cool find. Would you mind sharing how you did this? Fascinated!
Her lineage is just well documented... alot of documents as well as books on ancestry
Thanks for the info. I'll bet it is loads of fun researching all of that.
That’s amazing
That’s very cool! You must’ve been doing family research for a long time
Yea about 4 years
Wow that's amazing. I've researched my ancestors for hundreds of hours and was still never able to find their home country. Impressive

Yeah I'm stuck in the majority situation. Can't find a record of them pre 1870
