Toot:

MY PATERNAL GGGGRANDFATHER (CHESTANG) WAS FROM FRANCE AND HE HAD A LONG SPOUSAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A FREED SLAVE WHO HAD 12 CHILDREN ALL BORN FPOC IN ALABAMA IN THE 18TH CENTURY. ALL THE RECORDS SHOW HER FIRST NAME AND NOTHING MORE ABOUT HER, SO I WOULD LOVE TO FILL IN SOME BLANKS. SO TO DO THE DNA TESTING ON MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A FEMALE RELATIVE? AS FOR MY FATHER HE IS NOT ALIVE.

I STILL DON'T UNDERSTANG HOW IT WORKS, BECAUSE IF I ASK MY FATHER'S SISTER WE WILL GET RESULTS ABOUT MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER AND HER FEMALE ANCESTORS. THE STALLSWORTH AND NOT THE CHESTANG SIDE.
