Also, everybody, if you got grandparents, great aunts and ucles, etc, arund. hit them up. they have a wealth of knowledge on where you come from.
my grandmother told me that her great grandmother was Choctaw Indian from Florida. She got pushed out on the Trail of Tears and ended up settling in the Mississippi Delta with a Black minister.
Here's some info on the Trail of Tears, for those who don't know about it: http://www.peaknet.net/~aardvark/thetrail.html
My Grandfather told me about his grandfather being the son of a slave master and his slave in North Carolina. It was the Jones Plantation, but I forgot their names.
I urge everybody to start with their family elders. They're not going to be around long and when they go, all that knowledge goes with them! Give the elders the respect they deserve.

I was watching PBS the other day and they had a program where celebrities such as Oprah, Chris Tucker and etc. The scientist was conducting a DNA research to trace back ancestors. I thought it was pretty interesting. It makes me want to find my ancestors too.
