Maaan this was great, the way she was breaking down the research, I gotta get on my family tree, both sides
This is deep and informative
Thanks 🙏🏾 you're a wealth of knowledge.
You're welcome.
Thanks!
Thanks for the superchat.
I’m also a descendant of the Cox family “Thomas Cox” of Alabama and his family were black American Indians. You insult your ancestors when you call them slaves. They owned the land up until the WWI and WWII era
Facts. The paper trail don’t lie. How can we just own land out of nowhere if we weren’t already here??? I smell more lies some damn where lol
My husband is a descendant of the Cox family of Alabama .
Would that be Ben goss by any chance?
No blacks Indians in Alabama.
Agreed, they own African black slaves too
You had a lot of lucky finds. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed
Her family is from the same area as some of mine. Marion. I haven't found any Africans however i have foundal endless scottish and irish people who are black in those areas.
I've had no issue getting back to 1830 census. I've hit a brick wall there, any suggestions, advise would be greatly appreciated.
What have you found? Did any documents say they were Africans? What type of names did they have? You may have black Europeans in your family and if you do you have to look at the census in Scotland or wherever they came from to continue
@@YKDATRUTH There were black/African people in pre-modern Europe during the Medieval and Tudor times.
I do both ...but can't connect my grandmother to her parents on her obituary.
Can use some assistance with getting her BIRTH certificate, without a BIRTH PLACE.
Am doing our family GENEALOGY through her obituary, that all the source I have .
Where are you doing your genealogy? Which site?
If you finding African in any records at that time... it's false. I do geneology. Don't know what you're pushing but, Africans wasn't in America in mass. That's the harsh truth.
@@YKDATRUTH the gap in your teeth is a lie
@@greenpill2586 🤣🤣YK must haven’t done his genealogy or something. YK, u need the documents my guy. Documents ain’t gone lie. People will though. Again, remember what u said about most of the slave trade happening in 1800s when we know slavery ended in 1865. Why the fuck don’t we look like Africans sir???? That’s the real question. And I don’t need your words tbh. A nigga need documentation going foward. Sicka dis shit. I’m rocking with Dane cuz at least he telling people to go grab the actual documents which like I said, don’t lie.
@@greenpill2586 dude it ain't no lie search up slavery in America and you'll be surprised shii did you know the FIRST LEGAL SLAVE OWNER WAS BLACK
@Y.K Da Truth do a live stream and prove it wrong. I do genealogy. Most of you black people in America come from Europe. 😂 I've seen some Africans in the records. It was very late though. They came in the 1800s and there were very few. If a census record contained 50 people there were 4 African ls.
My family came in from Ireland and met the indians
Well I thought slavery never happened
Slavery the way they teach it in school never happened. A slave could go to court and sue their master. That's not the Slavery you know and love.
You wanted to be dense and had no clue who they were enslaved to? Most people were enslaved by their parents. It's in the records
@@YKDATRUTH show and prove.
