My Genealogical Ancestry

I am a 4th generation Californian on my mother's side, and my father was a 7th generation Southern Louisianan.

paternal grandfather's father: African American born in Southern Louisiana

other roots in Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia

paternal grandfather's mother: African American born in Southern Louisiana

other roots in Missouri, Alabama

paternal grandmother's father: African American born in Southern Louisiana

other roots in Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kentucky

paternal grandmother's mother: African American with English and Acadian (French in what now known as Nova Scotia) born in Southern Louisiana

colonial roots in Southern Louisiana, Virginia, and North Carolina

maternal grandfather's father: American born in California and son of immigrants from Cape Verde (Portuguese and Sub Saharan African)

maternal grandfather's mother: American born in California with a father from Puerto Rico (Spanish, Sub Saharan African, and Taino) and a mother that was a Hawaiian daughter of immigrants from Madeira (Portuguese with Sub Saharan African)

maternal grandmother's father: European American born in Oregon of mainly English ancestry with German, Swiss, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Dutch, and Frisian

colonial roots in Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island

other roots in Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana

maternal grandmother's mother: Ashkenazi Jewish American born in Nebraska with a father born in Romania and a mother born in Courland (in what is now known as Latvia) in Russian Empire

Because of the Transatlantic Slave trade, I don't know anything about my Sub Saharan African ancestry, but I am sure that it's mainly from West and Central Africa. Most of the Sub Saharan African slaves were brought from West and Central Africa. Africa has over 3,000 ethnic groups, and that includes Nigeria having over 400 ethnic groups. My Sub Saharan African ancestry is highly likely to consist of many Sub Saharan African ethnic groups. I have some Indigenous American segments on my paternal chromosomes and not just my maternal chromosomes and X Chromosome, but I don't know what kind of Indigenous American ancestry that I have on my father's side. I also have some Malagasy ancestry on my father's side.

Learning About My Paternal 2nd Great Grandmother Mary's Family And Their Connection To the Kinseys

I learned that the Kinseys were ancestors of my paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines' maternal grandmother Mary.

I found out that Grandma Mary Alice Gaines descended from a Swiss Kinsey family that immigrated to New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina in 1710. Their descendants.went to Jones County, North Carolina and Colleton and Barnwell Counties in South Carolina.
