I was always told we were part Black Dutch, which I took to mean someone from the Black Forest area....lol....Years later I started having reaccuring dreams of Native American women, this got me digging into Native American history. I found out that those individuals that claimed to be Black Dutch during the removal, were really of mixed European/Native Americans. So I started questioning my older relatives, and that's when I found out I had Native American ancestry. When I told some of my other relatives from my dad's side, found out that I had more on my dad's side too. Once I got a computer I started working on my family tree, and was able to make the connections, and was surprised to find out that I had several ancestors laced here and there, all thru out my family tree, during different time periods. Also found out that some of my early American ancestors were Quakers that literaly came on the same ship with William Penn to be apart of the "Holy Experiment".....and a bunch of other neat stuff, would totally derail the thread to go into...lol.
Thats pretty Darn Cool! I havent been able to go that far back, Im hoping I can go to Pennsylvania soon so that I am Talk to My great grandma about this before its too late . ( she is 94 and still living on her own, Stubborn pride of hers
)
Would you like me to put down black dutch?
No, I listed it as Melungeon instead of black dutch. Have you ever tried some of those ancestor family tree type of sites? The are kinda expensive for subscribtions, but Ancestry dot com, does have a month by month service......I just work on it for a month, then maybe a few months later work on it for another month. Cheaper that way.
