Hi Chad -

I have a Malagasy ancestor who was born in Madagascar and lived to be at least 90 years old. He was enslaved in Tennessee. I learned of this heriatege through oral history ... you can read my story in an article that was written on my friend, Wendy Wilson-Fall, who has done extensive research in this area ...

How did you trace your Malagasy ancestry?
