On this episode of RU-vidr Family Trees, I research the family tree of Jabari Walker of ‪@FromNothing‬. Tracing up one of Jabari's paternal lines, it took us to Liberty County, Georgia, where a unique African American culture known as Gullah Geechee was able to thrive.

Amazing. It was a pleasure to work with you on this. Just how deeply you dug into my family tree is just simply amazing. And it was even more amazing to see how unique the culture is that I descend from and how connected to Africa my people are. Additionally learning and knowing the details of my history to this extent is something I never thought I'd have the privilege to experience. Thank you so much for this! I will definitely share this with my family members and my community!

This was a great snapshot into the challenges we face when building African-American trees. We can get past that 1870 census, sometimes we just have to perform some fancy cartwheels to get there!

@mskillian Год назад

The Gullah Geechee culture is so amazing. In high school in Atlanta, we read “The Water Is Wide” by Pat Conroy. Then we took a weekend field trip to Savannah and took a ferry out to Daufuskie Island before it was ruined…I mean developed. Back then, it was still rustic but you got a chance to see how remote and primitive it was while being so heartwarming and full of life because of the people who lived there. I had BBQ blue crab there for the first time and it remains one of my favorite foods ever since.

@GenaGilder Год назад

I can actually trace my ancestry back to slavery on my maternal side due to slave and estate records found by a distant family member. My mother's family comes from a place called the Coe Ridge or Zeke town and they were the subject of a guy named William Montell's book, "The Saga of the Coe Ridge," on our family as well as the family who owned them. As well, a couple of family members wrote books based on their experiences living on the Coe Ridge and oral history passed down through the generations. I wish I could find out more about my father's side.

@robertwilliams7586 Год назад

Jared, I am so impressed with the depth of work you did for Jabari, and all the priceless and rare information he and his family will forever have! I recently discovered many family secrets from multiple DNA companies (Ancestry, 23&Me, MyHeritage), and have built a large detailed tree. I was shocked to discover that I am 25% Irish, from a grandfather know one ever knew of. I now have a huge tree for this Irish ancestry, back to the early 1600's! But, not for my African ancestry, getting stuck before 1870. It feels so bad to get this shock of my Irish side, but have so much information, including a 1890 newspaper article of a murder suicide (and possible love triangle) where my Irish great grandfather had a child with a black woman, and she was shot to death by another White man who killed himself. I am longing to find the rich history of my black side. For example, my newly found black grandmother's father was the driver for the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, but I can't go back much further to learn more of this man. I don't know my paternal grandmother's lineage at all. And, for generations since my maternal great grandfather's birth, my family has been assuming we are part Jewish, but DNA is suggesting he may have had a different non-Jewish father than his siblings. I'm sitting on this potential huge family secret, but need help figuring it out, so I can share the truth with my family. My head has been spinning. I almost don't know who I am after all of this! Lol. Jared can you help me? I need help!!!!

I enjoy your information. I am a 74-year-old African American female. I recently took a DNA test through Ancestry. I have 13 different results. The only surprise was that I was 1% Bengal. I have never seen this result in any video. Looking at the history of Bengal I see that Africans were living there. Have you come across this in any of your findings?

But wrt my maternal grandfathers' branch, the furthest that I've gotten is my great grandparents, Henry Sims(my grandfather's also named Henry) and Bertha Shavers who were from South Carolina I do have matches from that line that could potentially give me confirmation back to my 4x great grandparents but I'm not 100% sure. I would love to allow you to see my tree to help me out.

@TheDanEdwards Год назад

You do good work. However, I get rather triggered when it comes to "ethnicity" claims, and I left a few barbed comments over on UsefulCharts' take on Jabari's results. The past is important, and I think people on the whole ought to look more at their own family history. And as you point out, many Americans whose ancestors were slaves have had their past greatly obscured. The best thing we can do as a community is encourage more people to test, more people to attach their DNA test to their known family tree, and to make the known portions public, and help people find matches that can be clues to their shared past.

Hello,can you explore the relationship of Jewish men and mixed race Black women in Louisiana and the children that they created from such relationships. One such name would have been a Lawrence Sherman of Donaldsonville,Louisiana who was in a relationship with Laura Meade. Lawrence is believed to have arrived from England and spoke Hebrew according to his grandchildren. Lawrence was born in 1864.

@maryriser7836 Год назад

I was wondering what happened in the 1840s with slave trends? One of our ancestors own 2 or 3 slaves before 1840 but between 1840 and 1860 that ancestor acquired over 10 people. I just don't understand how he could have acquired so many people in such a short period of time.

⚠️Hi, this is a great video & research, but may I add a few things there was already black🖤 Negro & Colored North 🇺🇸’s here in America that are (not) Africans or Indians. Some of us maybe mixed with them but we not the same people. Africans are not allowed to own land nor the minerals of the land in 🇺🇸, black North Americans are foreigners in Africa. Some foreigners are allowed to rent land only here in 🇺🇸, but they can own businesses and properties aka houses 🏘️. Gullah people are Africans people from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. Geechee people are 🇺🇸’s they are two different people. Majority of the Africans slaves was bought to South & Central America. They just started calling us Africans-Americans in 1988 because of Jesses Jackson. P.S. 23andMe give out 2✌️DNA 🧬 TESTS results, Ancestry & Scientific Details 🔬✅ Once again thank you for all your research.
