Tamron Gets Emotional as A Genealogist Traces Her Roots

Beautiful hairstyle Tamron, looking good!

I’ve wanted to do this but part of me keep saying no don’t do it. I love seeing when people find their roots. Another beautiful show @tamron

I appreciate Tamron's boundary she set about making a connection with distant relatives.

I am lucky enough to work to preserve all our history documents .It's an amazing job .History is so very important..

I love Genealogist History. I have some from my family, my mother easy, however Dad (being of black and some type of mixed race from a time when that was kept secret) is a little more difficult. I am going to keep searching.

I’m a black American and proud of what my ancestors overcame. I know some white people who are distantly related to me through slavery. I don’t find it awkward at all. It is what it is. Most of my ancestors were in Virginia or North Carolina until the 1820s when they were forced by their owners into AL and MS. I saw my 3x great grandfather’s name on a ship manifest of slaves shipped from Virginia to the port of New Orleans. My mom’s family all hails from the same farming community and nothing there is “secret”about us being related to white people there. Actually on my dad’s side one of my white relatives gave me copies of the family records that list the slaves by name. They mentioned the US census not having enslaved black people listed until 1870 but owner families had their own private records. Plus I have seen my enslaved ancestors listed by name in the wills of our owners. These documents are at the county courthouse. Also if you were free during that time you would be listed by name in the federal census. Also some of my ancestors ran off and fought for the Union Army in the U.S. Colored Infantry. Later they filed for pensions and I paid for copies of their pension files which are full of depositions and other information. I know the names of some of my ancestors who were. born in Africa and Europe. The furthest I can go is about 1400s in Italy.

Emotional ❤❤❤Love it!!!

Wow. ☺️☺️☺️ This is what I am doing now as I do a family tree. I love to find my roots too.

I have been researching for years and find my family's name in the US Census going back to 1820, on my mother's side. My father's family traced their roots back to the country, Ghana & plantation, Davis in SC, that came from.

Awesome

I started researching my family tree and can't get pass 1890. I wish I could know more.

I wish she can do minds too ❤

❤️❤️❤️

Wait where is the rest of it??

Why never no mention about the Buffalo soilders and their work

👏👏❤

Tamron Hall and her family are entitled to reparations!

Littlefield is my last name. There has been this distinction drawn between Littlefields entering the colonies in Massachusetts from Littlefields entering in Maryland with differing origins in adjacent southern English counties, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Supposedly, the southern Littlefields are descendants of the Maryland group. Record keeping prior to Henry VIII was poor in those areas of the country and I have never heard anyone connecting Hampshire and Wiltshire groups. I have seen some mention of a dna test study to try and discern that information, but I doubt it was done. Tamron, the history of slavery is painful to so many people. And I am truly sorry for that, but would be blessed to count you as family. The New England group has a long and interesting history too.

I went to Publix school with some Desmukes in Milwaukee WI.

I really need help finding my father family, from what I was told he had died in 1989 I’m back to starting over again I never met my father never seen him before I would really like the help
