Hello Charisse. I had the same email-versus-posting problem when I tried to respond directly to you. At the risk of violating some unknown rule, I'll give you my email address in this public response. fid444@yahoo.com. I was researching only the birth date of Ruth O'Kelly Bergen, who passed away at age 99 or 100 (didn't manage to find her birth date), and so, I have no information regarding your true "AfriGeneas." But I did find family connections back to the mid-19th Century. Please email me if you're interested.
