THANKS TOOT: THIS IS SOMETHING I DEFINITELY WILL TRY IF I CAN GET MY MALE COUSINS INTERESTED. WE HAVE TRACED MY PATERNAL ANCESTORS TO FRANCE, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT ABOUT MY PATERNAL GGGGRANDMOTHER WHO WAS A FREED SLAVE.

ALSO ON MY MATERNAL SIDE, ORAL HISTORY HAS IT THAT THEY HAD FRENCH ANCESTORY, BUT ALL MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OUR EUROPEAN ANCESTORS WERE PROBABLY ENGLISH. (VirginiA>N.CAROLINA>ALABAMA>MISSISSIPPI).
