Enslaved Ancestors of the Del-Mar-VA This group will allow people with edslaved ancestors who lived in the Delaware - Maryland - Virginia region to compare DNA to look for genetic relationships. People moved during those times due to marriage, land grants, inheritance, being sold to another owner, obtaining their freedom, etc. There will be comparisons with people outside of the Del-Mar-VA. The goal is to have an ancestor that, at some time, lived in the region so that the possibility of a connection exists. Important Note: The family you grew up with (your 'Natural' family) - the people that find you in their family trees based on relationships. Without DNA comparison, you have accepted this person as family. The family of your genetics (your 'Genetic' family) - the people whose DNA you carry. My hope is that people will not try to rewrite history as it pertains to their 'natural' families. Your great-grandfather's role in your family does not change today because of DNA. There may have been a clandestine relationship, a slave owner + slave interaction, a child born out of wedlock who was secretly raised by someone else that becomes evident. Please check out the links on the cover page also. They will connect you with informational and educational blogs and sites where you may learn more about utilizing DNA.
