3. As a former professional genealogist
One man, one computer, one subscription to ancestors.com.
Why do I suddenly hear the
Indiana Jones theme in my head?
who researched many lines of Black American famililes
Tell the truth. You did the same thing Alex Haley did - you made it up.
I can say it is certainly much more difficult establishing lineages of Blacks past the mid 1800's than it is for most other Americans,
Which is how I know you made it up. The poor saps who paid you to use ancestors.com would never know the difference. Did you make every one of them the descendant of an African prince?
except Native Americans.
I hear Elizabeth Warren has that same problem proving her Indian ancestry, but she beleeeeeves it just the same. Cheekbones never lie.
Are you the "professional genealogist" who told her she's the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of a Cherokee princess?
