So this year I asked Uncle Oliver to test, and more than one-third of my dad's autosomal matches also match him. One of my first <a href="http://thebassgenome.blogspot.com/2014/08/dna-success-stories.html" style="background-color: orange;" target="_blank">DNA success stories</a> with a confirmed paper trail back to my great great grandfather Andrew Tidwell born 1844, was discovered prior to Uncle Oliver testing has since been confirmed to also match him and higher than the way he matches either my dad or myself. Oliver is my dad's mothers brother my paternal (maternal side) grand Uncle. I also learned that my Uncle is a haplogroup <b>E1b1a8a1*</b> which means his ancient paternal families, father's father's father direct male line can trace back to a single mutation of a male born 20,000 years ago in Sub Saharan Africa. I checked the Tidwell surname project on Family Tree DNA to see if any Tidwell male lineages on there were haplogroup E* and this is what I found:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the Tidwell men who tested, tested to haplogroup I* which means my great great grandfather Andrew J Tidwell was probably not a direct descendant of a Tidwell male. This doesn't mean however that we are not autosomally related to the Tidwell's who are haplogroup I*.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So far Uncle Oliver has the most Sub-Saharan African matches on Countries of Ancestry on 23 and me having all four grandparents from the Continent. This includes two matches with all four grandparents from Edo Nigeria, four grandparents from Mauritius, four grandparents South Africa, four grandparents Kenya, four grandparents Uganda, and four grandparents Niger. Also, our cousin from Ecuador triangulates with my grand Uncle Oliver.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, my dad received another high match on AncestryDNA to a Tidwell cousin with Tidwell relatives from Texas. Her Tidwell family traces to Thomas Tidwell born 1835 and ours to Andrew Tidwell 1844. I asked her to upload to gedmatch which she did and learned that she also matches Uncle Oliver we have yet to determine who our most recent common ancestor is. This is how she matches Uncle Oliver:</span><br />

My dad's family lines are a maze of huge brick walls and just when I think I have conquered one brick wall another arises and still another. In my blog <a href="http://thebassgenome.blogspot.com/2014/05/figured-out-fergusons.html" target="_blank">Figured Out the Ferguson's</a> I discussed the possibilities of how my paternal line could be related to the Ferguson line. The Ferguson surname is one of my dads highest surname matches. Lucy Bell-Henry was my dads, great grandmother and m<i>y</i> great great grandmother, according to her marriage license her paternal surname was Bell was she also possibly a maternal surnamed <i>Ferguson</i>?<br />

Some of my dad's <b>paternal</b> ancestry derives from the small town of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion,_Louisiana" target="_blank">Marion, in Union Parish Louisiana</a> with it's population being 765 in 2010, many of the families from this small town are interrelated. On AncestryDNA I have several matches who trace to the State of Louisiana. To narrow it down further, if the historian (DNA relative) documents not only the State but, the City or Parish his/her ancestor was born in, then I can perform a "<i>search by birth location," </i>similar to the one shown here:<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Out of my dad's 48 Louisiana matches on AncestryDNA only 9 of them have recorded Union Parish as the place of residence for their particular Louisiana ancestors. His <b>maternal</b> lineage is found living in Clay, Bradley Arkansas in the 1870 census. 49 of his matches on AncestryDNA also descend from Arkansas, only 5 specify Clay, Bradley Arkansas or Warren Arkansas. The proximity of known ancestors to the ancestors of our DNA matches are good indications that a relationship existed. Also, when 3 or more people trace to the same ancestor this is also a good clue in.<br />
<br />
Some of the Surnames of my matches that I am following:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Ferguson:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b>Second and third cousins how hard can it be? Right?</b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
My dad and I have one 23 and me predicted SECOND, <i>gdboy</i>t and one 23 and me predicted <i>third </i>cousin <i>sfergie.</i> Although, AncestryDNA contradicts that and reduces <i>sfergie's </i>relationship to <i>fourth </i>cousin, and two fifth cousin matches <i>M.A.C and T.A.D</i> who trace to the same Searcy B <b>Andrews</b> born 1888 in Union Parish, Lousiana who married Etta <b>Ferguson</b> born 1890 of the same place. My dad has one other AncestryDNA predicted third cousin who traces to Gus Ferguson whose son Marvin born 1908 married Ruth <b>Hardaway</b> also related to this same Ferguson lineage. All of my paternal Ferguson matches also trace back to Columbus <b>Mitchell </b>1845 who married Caroline <b>White </b>born 1851. All of these matches except <i>gdboyt </i>who shares great grandparents with my dad, share great great grandparents, which would be on the level of Lucy Bells parents. Great grandmother Lucy's parents were William Bell and Annie (nee possibly Ferguson?).<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wysinger:</b></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Who in the world was Mack Wysinger?</span></b></h3>
We have two AncestryDNA cousins who trace to the <b>Wysinger </b>surname in Union Parish, Louisiana at fifth cousin. <i>G.b </i>traces to Mack Wysinger born 1840 who married Katie <b>Long </b>on 10 Nov 1881. When Mack Wysinger shows up on the 1880 census with his son Eugene Wysinger Katie isn't there. So Katie Long may not be the mother of Eugene Wysinger. Eugene was born 1869. All we know about Mack is that he worked at the sawmill, and in 1880 he had a 47 year old woman living with him in his home named Mollie <b>Barton</b>, a cook, and her child Naomi who was 17. Was this a common law marriage?<br />

Eugene Wysinger migrated to Fresno, California where he died. The other predicted 5th cousin moniker <i>mswoods, </i>Wysinger surname cousin match on AncestryDNA traces to Mary Wysinger from Union Parish Lousiana who married Mack <b>Cleveland</b>. On 23 and me we have one 4th cousin <i>IMattox</i> who traces to W. Rubin Wysinger born in 1892, and who migrated to Texas.

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my first success stories in genetic geneaology was on my Tidwell side. Neoma Tidwell my dad's mother died in his infancy. My dad doesn't have any recollection of her because she died before he formed a memory. Neoma married my grandfather Roosevelt Bass Sr. at a young age. Her father Millard Tidwell also died young he was working at the Bradley Sawmill in Warren, Arkansas when his heart failed. When I first performed 23 and me I had a cousin match to Aubrey G. 23 and me predicted our relationship to be 4th cousins 3rd to Distant. After communicating with Aubrey I learned that he also had Tidwell in his list of matches, he told me:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Aubrey: "My grandfather's name was Steven Jones, and his mother's name was Ocie Tidwell, and his father's name was Johnnie Jones. Ocie Tidwell's father was Jackson Tidwell...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jackson Tidwell is Aubrey G.'s great great grandfather! I reviewed my family tree. My great grandfather Millard Tidwell lived in the household of his father Andrew Tidwell and Eveline Bragg Faulkner in 1880 with their children:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Excited, I wrote Aubrey back: Your great grandmother Ocie Tidwell was the neice of my great grandfather! My great grandfather Millard was the brother of your great great grandfather Jackson Tidwell, their parents were our shared ancestors Andrew J. Tidwell and Evaline <b>Bragg Faulkner-</b>Tidwell! Andrew J. Tidwell was Aubrey's great great great grandfather Andrew Tidwell was my great great grandfather making us 3rd cousins!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Then there are the times when you KNOW that you KNOW you are cousins but you have limited information to go on just gut feeling, like with my cousin Lee. I met Leona Meadows-Walker on the message in-box of Ancestry.com in July 2003. She was researching Hollands and so was I at the time, Holland is my maternal lineage, my mother's mother was Alma Holland. Lee was also researching her maternal lineage her mother's name was Louvenia Holland. Louvenia Holland was the daughter of John Holland and Annie Owens. Alma Holland and John Holland were brother and sister. The children of Lewis Holland and Clarissy Owens.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Leona sent me an invite to her tree on 07/07/07 and JACKPOT! We have been in communication ever since. Excited! I told my family about it who didn't necessarily respond as graciously as I had hoped. Some were skeptical of our relationship based on documentation alone. They said, they doubted that John Holland even<i> had c</i>hildren! Then, right before my Aunt Helen passed away she blessed me with a wealth of obituaries including Uncle John Hollands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On AncestryDNA my dad and I have several Farmer surname matches more so than Bass surname matches who trace to Hester Bass. But who was HESTER BASS? Did she marry a cousin? There is a William Bass who married Sarah Batton who had a daughter Hester Bass is this the same Hester Bass who married William first and later Henry Farmer? Confusing! Anyway, enough about the Bass family of ancestors distant, I'm certain that most Americans are related autosomally, in some way to that family descending from Nathaniel Basse who arrived in America in 1641.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, which surname does Family Tree DNA assign as a Y-DNA match to my dad? At 12 markers FTDNA assigns him at a genetic distance of 1 to the surname Norris, at 25 markers FTDNA assigns my dad as a genetic distance of 2 to the following surnames Purcell, Hector, Harden, Walker, Amerson, and Howell, at 37 markers FTDNA assigns him a genetic distance of 3 to one Walker male and a genetic distance of 4 to the surnames Purcell, Hector and Amerson and at 67 markers, FTDNA assigns him a genetic distance of 7 to two Walker males and one Amerson male. What does this mean?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, let me say that the descendants of Amos Young Amerson admit that Amos was probably himself a non-paternal event who should have been a Walker male instead. Now, FAQ of Family Tree DNA explains genetic distance this way, if two males share a common surname AND are a genetic distance of 0 (zero) then they are very tightly related, if they are a genetic distance of 1 or 2, they are tightly related of 3 or 4 they are related, 4 or 5 they are not recently related but still related, 5 or 6 also related, a genetic distance of 7 is <b><i>probably</i></b> related. My dad matches the two Walker males and the one NPE Amerson male at a genetic distance of 7 which means they are probably related. Should my paternal line have been Walker's instead of Bass? I don't know, but I do know so <span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace; font-size: small;">" </span>far we have more Walker surname matches than we do Bass.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Following is what the Amerson's have to say about their family lineage:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">First I want to make it CLEAR that the Amerson's that live in Tishomingo </span></span></blockquote>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">County and all the Amerson's that are older than my Amos Amerson are true </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">Amerson's.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">Eudoxia was married to Amos Young Amerson. We laughingly say now that we </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">are 1st generation Amerson's. When we did the DNA last year on Two of </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">Amos's grandsons the dna came out very different than the Amerson line </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">including the DNA of 4 of Amos's great Nephews. We were all surprised. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">The two grandsons that we use for Amos's DNA were from two sons of Eudoxia </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace;">and Amos, so it had to mean that either Amos's mother had not been the </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something very spooky just happened. Long ago when I first started "genning" I'd found this marriage cert. that I thought was the marriage certificate of my great paternal grandparents Lucy Bell born 1853 and William Henry born about 1851 but it recorded them getting married in 1894 which would have been too late since my great grandmother Pheba was born in 1878. Anyway, it never made much sense but I got attached to the idea, and reasoned that because it was difficult days during Reconstruction, and possibly so much discrimination existed that it was necessary for them to wait until a better time to get hitched. The cost of a marriage certificate could also have been a factor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I was working today on deleting a temporary speculative tree that I grew based on my new DNA findings. Now that I know more I deleted the tree and re-vamped it. As I was entering my great grandmother's information and was just about to attach the marriage cert# I'd found so long ago, when oops! A strange thing happened, another of my DNA high matches who traces to Cyrus Ferguson born 1814 and Laura nee unknown, born 1834's, daughter Lucy Ferguson also born 1861 jumped up and attached herself to my great grandmother' Lucy's name instead. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Although I have several matches to Bell, I have two high matches to Ferguson. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Great grandmother Lucy whom I always thought was nee Bell born in 1853, was not born the same year that Lucy Ferguson whose birth year is recorded as 1861,was said to have been born! But, Ferguson, actually, makes more sense here! She connects my DNA matches! Really! It's as if my great grandmother was directing my key strokes, as if she was correcting a decade long error that I had made. I have to wonder now was Lucy a Ferguson and a Bell? You see, Garland who is my second cousin and who traces to these same Fergusons whose family Lucy would be a member of, and myself have not been able to find our connection. He is my SECOND cousin! It should be simple! Duh...Thanks Grandma Lucy! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">He is not a direct paternal line descendant Y-STR match to the Basse family lineage who traces to John Basse whose progeny arrived in America in the1640's who </span><span style="font-size: large;">according to Family Tree DNA, was </span><span style="font-size: large;">haplogroup A1a* a haplogroup whose African origin is common amongst the Khoisan people in Central and Northwest Africa. Haplogroups are families of chromosomes either Y (male) or mitochondrial (female) which trace back in a direct paternal lineage from, father's father's, father or a maternal lineage which traces from mother's mother's mother, to a single mutation at a distant place and time. It is my feeling, that Pop's Bass family chose the surname Bass prior to the 1870 census of Union Parish, Louisiana. Through 23 and me, we have discovered a confirmed DNA match 4th cousin who traces to Jacob Bass an African American male born about 1810 in North Carolina. Jacob was the former slave of John Bass born 1775, in Wayne County, North Carolina. John Bass died intestate in Perry County, Alabama in 1822, Jacob was listed along with his father Peter and brother Peter in this 1822 inventory.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">21% comes from Cameroon and Congo and 22% from Benin and Togo. Around, 1640 the Dutch, while trading commodities on the coast of Africa first began bringing thousands of my ancestors to Barbadoes and Brazil to work as slaves. Not soon after, the Portuguese followed, and Britain.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Even, before this my ancestors came to America on the ships of De Soto in 1538, when he decided to sell all his property and use the cash to purchase a trip to explore Florida. In his fleet of a thousand men De Soto had as many as fifty slaves. At least one of those slaves escaped and didn't make the return trip, but ran away and married a Native American woman. His name was Gomez. That may answer why my Native Amerian traces are so distant at 1% Native American and 1% South Asian according to AncestryDNA.com</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am of 12% European origin on AncestryDNA, not far from the 11.9% predicted on<a href="https://www.23andme.com/you/"> 23 and me.com</a> My European ancestry is mostly West European, this prediction comes from a collection of 416 tested people, according to AncestryDNA. My Scandinavian origins (roaming groups of hunter-gatherers from Southern Europe such as the Goths from Southern Sweden) is predicted at 2% this from a comparison of 272 people. 1% from Italy and Greece and another 1% from Ireland and another 1% from Great Britain. My European ancestors came here to America in the early 1600's as indentured servants, colonist, and aristocrats. Usually, they owned slaves as chattel property and usually the offspring of these unions were conceived by force. However, prior to 1741, mixed race marriages were allowed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My ancestry circles the globe. I can recall a time when people would discuss their admixture and I didn't have much to add to the conversation. I'd sit stoic and just listen, nod at either the diversity of the speaker or the lack thereof. I didn't know anything other than that I was African, and didn't even have an immediate claim to Africa since all four of my grandparents were born in the United States. Now I am just living for that conversation to pop up again! And nobodies asking. So I'm going to tell you anyway! DNA testing has changed my world view. It has that effect on a person. I have developed a stronger sense of community since performing these test! Look this is me:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I now know that I am African, but not only that I am African but that I am more than 80% African. Each DNA company gives a different percentage but not that far off. 23 and me.com gives three predictions of my admixture a speculative one, a standard one, and a conservative one. Since it is all speculative anyway I'll choose the speculative one here: According to 23 and me.com I am 86.2 % African mostly West African, 0.6% Central and South African, and 0.2% non-specific Sub-Saharan African.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Ihave also 11.9% European ancestry. 6.8% of which is British and Irish, 3.1% Non-specific deriving mostly from the U.K., 0.4% Southern European, of Iberian origin, and other percentages of Non-specific European. And that's just the half of me!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On both sides maternal and paternal my ancestry traces to a distant African male and female of Yoruba, West African origin! The red color in the map above denotes West African, the blue European, and the orange Native American/East Asian, the very thin thread of purple North African and Middle Eastern, the white, are non-specific segments.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The split view map above shows how much ancestry I get from my father's side and how much I get from my mother's. A subscriber on 23 and me.com can only perform a split view if they have at least one parent tested and linked to their profile. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I get 42.1% Sub-Saharan African from mom and 44.1% from dad. Most of my European ancestry comes from mom at 7.1% and only 4.8% </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">from dad, but I receive more Native American/East Asian from dad and only a small percentage from my Mother.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sitting here, nostalgic, reviewing some of mine and Sandra's first conversations, I am amazed at how much ground we covered in so little time. I first contacted her January 20, 2012 on </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Our first conversation was an invitation from me to share notes. Little did I know at that time that our tiny match on chromosome 4 suggested a relationship distant enough that under other circumstances could have been realized, but unfortunately ours wasn't a circumstance of that particular convenience. Our ancestors had been slaves. </span><br />

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Avenir Next, Lucida Grande, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">That's how it is on 23 and me you must invite your matches to share and submit an introduction. I was eager then and sent out invitations to all the relatives in my Relative Finder in hopes of getting a response, hoping beyond hope that they would know the answers to most or at least some of my puzzles. Under the impression, at the time that the puzzle pieces would just fall into place without much force. How wrong I was!

I accepted. I am looking for you in my Relative Finder, but you are not showing up, and you did not show up when I did a search and I can't see your profile. I do see a Roosevelt Bass in my RF also a 5th cousin. Any relation? </span><br />

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Avenir Next, Lucida Grande, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">She didn't match my brother Marcus now that was weird! He is a full sibling we share both parents. Little did we know at the time how often that occurs it's called recombination. What we soon learned is that my dad Roosevelt, myself, Marcus and Sandra share a matrilineal relationship. Which means we share a maternal line. Once we all uploaded our raw genome data to gedmatch we concluded that Sandra and Marcus did share a match on the same segment which she matched both my dad and myself on and on more than just chromosome 4, she also shared a match to us on the X chromosome, chromosome 23. We didn't see this on 23 and me since 23 and me doesn't capture such minute segments or anything below 7.0 centimorgans. The X chromosome is one of two chromosomes found in humans, females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y, females inherit one X chromosome from their mother and one X chromosome from their father.</span></span></div>

My family had been slaves before 1865 and their chosen surnames weren't even recorded anyway. The Slaveholders rarely recorded their first names only counted them as items of property on the slave schedules. I know there was migrations from Georgia/Alabama to Louisiana and before that from North/South Carolina. Louisiana was settled by migrants from these places. What we need to do is find out who the slave owners were who migrated. I was reading your blog about Edward Mobley the slave owner who died in Chester District South Carolina. Did he have a daughter named Mary Mobley or daughter-in-law? I found a woman named Mary Mobley in a book called "Some Slaveholders and Their Slaves Union Parish Louisiana 1839-1865" Harry S.Dill and William Simpson</span><a href="http://www.heritagebooks.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: #eaeff7; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0088cc; font-family: 'Avenir Next', 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.HeritageBooks.com</a><span style="background-color: #eaeff7; color: #111111; font-family: 'Avenir Next', 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">. But that's all it shows is her name. Could you find out the names of this Edward Mobley's other children maybe some of them left Georgia and South Carolina to come to Louisiana. Women are important because they married and changed their surnames. What was his childrens names? Who did the girls marry?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #eaeff7; color: #111111; font-family: 'Avenir Next', 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">My mother's family is from South Carolina but they migrated to Washington D.C. in 1940, their pattern of migration was from the Carribean before 1862 to Carolina and they were there for years until my grandfather James left and moved to Washington,DC in the 1940's. My dad's family were migratory, before 1862 they left South/North Carolina went to Alabama/Georgia farther along to Louisiana and even farther to Texas. You and I are related through my father and not my mom. Slaves migrated along with the slaveowners in large caravans like you see in Western movies the difference is in the movies they don't show the slaves. LOL!!</span><br />

Sandra said, "I think you are probably right about the slaveowner and family. And we need to pay particular attention to the females and maiden names.

Sandra and I are predicted fifth cousins which means we share great great great great grandparents. We don't share any surnames in common and neither of us know our ancestry beyond our great great great grandparents. We never discovered our common ancestor. She shares 8 cM with my dad and 7 cM with me. Centimorgans are units of genetic measurement in DNA which account for how often recombination occurs over a certain region on a chromosome. The small amount we share means we have at least one common ancestor who was born sometime between 1775-1795. Sandra also shares 10 cM over 1 segment with my paternal second cousins Garland Boyette Sr. and Jr. on chromosome 2 but Garland Sr. doesn't share with me on that same chromosome which means Sandra, and Garland share a common ancestor of a different lineage than do Sandra and me. Neither does Sandra match my dad's maternal cousin Aubrey Goodwin which spoils my speculation about a Tidwell/ Taliaferro common ancestry. Aubrey and I discovered through DNA that we share great-great and great-great-great grandparents, Andrew and Evaline Tidwell and are second cousins once removed. Neither does Sandra share ancestry with Taneya Koonce who is also a paternal match to me. The only two cousin matches she and I share in common are W. House on chromosome 15 and Garland Boyette Sr. and Jr. on chromosome 2 but neither of them match either of us on the exact same chromosome at the exact same place.<br />
<br />
Sandra didn't think she was related by D.N.A to the Taliaferro's from Georgia, and I know my paternal ancestry are not direct Y-DNA descendants of the Bass paternal line. We both found evidence that our ancestors both Taliaferro and Bass were in bondage to families having these surnames. Richard <b>Taliaferro </b>born 1792 in South Carolina and Susan <b>Mobley </b>born 1792 in South Carolina,<b> </b>who lived in Fulton, Georgia in 1850 were the slaveowners of Sandra's great and great-great grandfather. John <b>Bass </b>and Julianne <b>Holliman </b>and related family S. David <b>Mims </b>and Mary W. <b>Ross </b>were the slaveowners of my paternal ancestors. In finding African Ancestry finding the people who held them captive is important. In the inventory and appraisement of Richard Taliaferro dated 1 January 1856 are a father and son Miles and John who by the 1870 census adopt the Taliaferro surname.

And my ancestors Jacob and Peter found in the inventory and appraisement of John Bass who died intestate in 1822 Alabama would later in 1870 adopt the surname <b>Bass. </b>As Sandra and I discovered sometime the acquisition of chattel property was through the wives as gifts or inheritance from their deceased parents.<br />

I've been writing since High School, and have been interested in genealogy for about as long. I started researching my ancestry as a class project during the mini-series <i>Roots </i>adapted from the book written by Alex Haley. Alex Haley was the inspiration at the time, for many young minds to develop an interest in history as it pertains to "your story." I never realized the scope of slavery, until then and it never before had a personal affect upon me. Sure in grade school, we'd commemorate Black History one month each year in February, in which we'd learn that there were <i>some </i>people who had been slaves. Each year we'd study about those same seven people, you know the ones George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglas, Mary McCloud Bethune, Benjamin Banneker, Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. Dubois, and Booker T. Washington. In my mind, I empathized with the people who had either been slaves or whose parents had been enslaved but never made a correlation between them and me. From that education, I could hardly fathom the depths of what it meant or what it felt like, to be chattel to another person. The mini-series <i>Roots </i>brought reality home, it<i> </i>taught me more in a few weeks than twenty-eight to thirty days of Black History month did in my short lifetime!<br />

Many African Americans hit a brick-wall when they get to the 1870 census. The 1870 census is the first census where free African Americans were enumerated in by given name and surname prior to that they were counted by age. This is where DNA test help a lot. I have learned so much about my ancestry since taking the test. I've learned that I am the product of both free, and enslaved, immigrant, indentured, abducted, and Native American. I've learned that my ancestors didn't remain in one place they moved! My mother's family is from South Carolina and I'd like to think that every cousin match I get with roots in South Carolina are maternal and each cousin match I get from Louisiana is paternal but I'd be <i>wrong. </i>That's why it also helps to have at least one parent tested which I do. My dad. It's why when I met Sandra Taliaferro I knew she was a paternal cousin to me, and we spent much email time discussing how it could be possible that we are related when the majority of her relatives were from Georgia and the majority of my paternal side were from Louisiana and it was the reason I wrote this blog, <a href="http://victori7.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/those-traveling-taliaferros-part-i/">Those Traveling Taliaferro's Part I</a> and <a href="http://ourvines.wordpress.com/">Those Traveling Taliaferro's and Tidwells Too</a><br />

I'm a writer. I started blogging months ago when I realized my novel, no matter how hard I coaxed, may never come out of the closet. Sure, I knew it was in there, playing hide-and-seek with me constantly poking its papery head out from masses of paper I'd written and discarded. It coyly retreated to the back of my closet unread by anyone but me. Oh sure, I knew it was there waiting for me to close my eyes count to ten and go seek.<br />
<br />
Shortly after I subscribed to 23 and me DNA company I met Sandra Taliaferro (<a href="http://ineverknewmyfather.blogspot.com/">http://ineverknewmyfather.blogspot.com</a>) and Taneya Koonce<br />
(<a href="http://www.taneya-kalonji.com/genblog/">http://www.taneya-kalonji.com/genblog/</a>) both DNA related cousins and they both blog.<br />

My cousin Sandra was my biggest inspiration to start blogging. She chided me about consistency and chastised me about grammar and I realize now that her efforts were to improve my writing not hinder it. I miss her so much since her passing. She inferred upon me an obligation to my ancestors to tell their stories, and to not allow someone else to tell their stories. Someone who would only grace the surface and not delve into substance, like those post Civil War photographers did who filmed the masses of black people after freedom standing around with looks of bewilderment on their faces, unnamed, and unnameable still, leaving the viewer to wonder what their individual stories were.<br />
<br />
Like Sandra I never knew my father either. When Mother got sick I grew up in a foster home placed there when I was five the second time and when I was two months the first time. My dad and me have developed a relationship since, but for years when my psyche was the most influential I didn't know him, not really. Sure, I knew who he was, what he looked like, but I didn't know his deeper self. That self we keep submerged, with only our face exposed upon the surface. Its that deeper self that no one ever really knows unless you allow them in. So this blog is for Sandra, and <i>all </i>my DNA relatives but especially for Sandra Taliaferro who was about to go live on a new blog shortly before her untimely, demise. It's called <i>Harvest of the Helix </i>because of the double helix of DNA and I will share my findings and any new cousin connections I receive.<br />
