AN ODD APPROACH TO ENDING SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH
Matthew Fontaine Maury (January 14, 1806 – February 1, 1873) was an American astronomer, historian, oceanographer, meteorologist, cartographer, author, geologist, educator, and naval officer for the United States and then the Confederacy.

It's All Relative
Having researched thousands of families over the years, we at Dancestors have collated all this research & narrative material into a single database containing over 2.5 million words, and is over 4,000 pages!

Good morning fellow descendants,

Here's why that may happen. Do you have a sibling? Do they look more like your mom or dad than you do? That's because unless your identical twins you have differing percentages of your parents DNA in your blood.
Here's an example of how your Native American DNA could persevere or disappear through just 5 generations and 150 years:
Great-Great-Great Grandpa was 100% Native American.
He has two boys (gender doesn't matter, just...
