Famous Blacks Finding Slave Owners and Confederates in the Family Tree

[Clem72]

In my family research, have found an 8th great grandmother born in the west African country of Mali.
Her husband was a Spanish sailor. One of their grandsons emigrated to Italy, which is where that ancestry joined in.

You have 1024 8th great grandparents. Almost impossible not to have some mixing at that point unless your family tree don't branch.

With those numbers and if your family is from the same general region, how many show up multiple times?

Seems somewhat likely to have overlap, just takes one set of second cousins (or closer) getting frisky.

But even though I can trace my surname direct ancestors back to the early 1700 in the US, within 8 generations my family tree (that I can reliably track) spreads to a dozen different countries. And a DNA test let me know that despite being almost entirely English/Scottish/Irish they have people with enough DNA matching in their database to count as a 3rd cousins or parents 2nd cousin in random places all over the world.

Like you I did the DNA test and have cousins throughout the US and Canada along with the British Isles. Keeping with all my known irish ancestor a few cousins ending up as Aussie. Research shows one of the family unknowingly married a distance cousin. Even though I not from here, research shows I have several third cousin strings throughout southern maryland.

Young Black Man Makes EPIC, STAT-BASED Case Against Reparations and Woke Host Just Can't DEEEAL (Watch)​

Amanda Seales, the self-proclaimed queen of reparations, found herself utterly speechless as a young black conservative dropped a truth bomb so MASSIVE it left her facepalming in disbelief. The topic? Why handing out $50,000 checks to every low-income black American won't magically fix systemic issues.

Seales, known for her insane-o rhetoric, couldn't handle the truth when confronted with cold, hard facts about the Chinese Exclusion Act and its impact on median household income. But the real kicker? When she demanded to be treated like "your mama," the meltdown that followed was nothing short of legendary.

Watch:

Post continues:

... States. Yet they now have the highest median household income. How is that possible? How come they don’t complain and feel consistently entitled to demand reparations?”

She's outraged that he used STATs to shut her down. This is why so many people on the Left hate math, because they know there is wiggle room. No, Amanda, STATs don't lie.

People who can't deal with STATs lie.
