AYWalton: that man's accent makes me nervous. Sounds like some of the voices of terror in the south.

AYWalton: or maybe it is that confederate flag behind him.
Family Griot: Yes, I undersand that bbenn

Family Griot: Scared of what? Nervous about what? Anyone an own a gun these days.
Nadasue: And use it Family Griot
Family Griot: exactly Nadasue
AYWalton: no the sound of his voice I don't like. I am not afraid of him personally. I was referring to the old man.
Family Griot: But I betcha cotton and other goods were still getting to the overseas market. sigh...
AYWalton: Hmm........kind of chatty a bit.
Family Griot: :}
keli1: wonder if these guys are related
Daviss: is the show good so far:?
AYWalton: do we really know that he fathered a child with a black woman?
Family Griot: Good question, AYWalton.
AYWalton: I am kind of mixed about it. Greg Isborned. Do you know him bbenn?
bbenn: Hi Greg..
Family Griot: Well Daviss, I would say watch it for yourself.
AYWalton: I know you know N Orleans. Orborn I meant to type.
Family Griot: who is to say that the mother is unknown either.
bbenn: I need to call him..he works at the NEW Orleans Library---
Family Griot: did he say hours and hours? How about weeks and months and years?! lol
AYWalton: wb Daviss
Family Griot: What about his death certificate? or death record?
AYWalton: probably was not required in LA at the time. aha........natural son--meant that they were not married. oh gracious---one of the few---puleeze!
keli1: less than 10%, hmmm
Family Griot: hold on someone is texting me
bbenn: This is not usual for New Orleans with over 10,000 free people of color ...
AYWalton: exactly!!! why is he so amazed.
bbenn: Read Black New Orleans 1860-1880 by John W. BLASSINGAME
Family Griot: ok now I'm trying to figure out becasue so many 'creoles' talk about how their ancestors married, why he didn't marry this woman? Especially since she was free.
keli1: the law probably didn't allow it
AYWalton: but could they marry legally?
bbenn: They had their legal marraiges and the other woman! Very common...
AYWalton: And i was wondering---was there another woman?
Family Griot: Someone told me something like that in the forums... lol
AYWalton: perhaps a wife? Cane River addressed that.
Family Griot: That book was so disturbing.
Nadasue: Ah, Cane River... I LOVED that book!
bbenn: I remembered the signs...
AYWalton: I saw some as well.
Nadasue: It was a good read though Family Griot
bbenn: Bringing back memories!
Family Griot: It was I read it in two days.
AYWalton: play it Branford!
bbenn: My family lived in the Upper Ninth Ward...
Family Griot: Oh here we go, Mississippi :}
AYWalton: glad he knew some of that history.
Selma: Be prepared for what you find..one of my mantras
Family Griot: lol This is interesting. Now just because they had a marriage bond, doesn't mean they got married.
keli1: good lord this is interesting
AYWalton: Good for him. he is not lured into an emotional issue with what Gates is presented. good for him.
Family Griot: Now a new family for him to look into... amazing!
AYWalton: issue. glad the Rattlesnake was not a slave ship! uh oh----here comes the DNA reveal. what company did they use?
Family Griot: 23andme
AYWalton: significant...interesting.
bbenn: one drop...
AYWalton: interesting.
Selma: So we are not doing Connicks DNA?
bbenn: Back to the quarters!
AYWalton: glad there was no chance to make fun of the Native issue.
Family Griot: This is every Sunday night?
bbenn: Harry may have one drop
AYWalton: I suppose not.
bbenn: bye
Nadasue: Goodnight all.
