re: #257 Belafon
And it’s estimated that about 10% of southern whites have a slave ancestor.
It would be fun to be able to have a DNA analysis that would reveal a lot of things about one’s ancestry. Since I fall into the pasty-white category, I doubt there would be any huge shocks for me, but it would be interesting to know how far back genetics match paternity records. (I’m pretty sure my parents/grandparents weren’t fooling around on the side, but past that, who knows?)
