The Many Ethnic Groups and Languages of Africa - The Most Diverse Continent

This is a blog post about the ethnic groups of Africa which is a continent that consists of over 50 countries and has thousands of ethnic groups. What I have noticed about ethnic groups is that there no clear definition of what they are.  That's what I am noticing in countries in general. In regards to Africa,  I am seeing names of specific ethnic groups like Wolof, Mandinka, Fulani being listed for certain countries, and those ethnic groups are in multiple countries.  I am also seeing nationalities being listed for ethnic groups like Somali for Djibouti. I am seeing the continental backgrounds like African, European for Cabo Verde which is where my maternal grandfather's paternal grandparents immigrated to USA from when it was still a Portuguese colony.

My Ancestral Families in The Carolinas

 This is blog post is about my ancestral families in the Carolinas.  The  Carolinas  are the U.S. states of  North Carolina  and  South Carolina , considered collectively. They are bordered by  Virginia  to the north,  Tennessee  to the west, and  Georgia  to the southwest. The  Atlantic Ocean  is to the east. Combining North Carolina's population of 10,439,388 and South Carolina's of 5,118,425, the Carolinas have a collective population of 15,557,813 as of 2020. If the Carolinas were a single state of the United States, it would be the  fifth-most populous state , behind  California ,  Texas ,  Florida , and  New York . The Carolinas were known as the  Province of Carolina  during America's early  colonial  period, from 1663 to 1712. Prior to that, the land was considered part of the  Colony and Dominion of Virginia , from 1609 to 1663. The province, was named  Carolina  to honor King  Charles I of England . Carolina is taken from the  Latin  word for "Charles",
