<p> Hi Sean,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am an African-American with Native American,French and European roots. After four(4) gernerations the African roots have not been traceable. But the British line has been traced as far back as Geoff. Chaucer. Currently, I have family members who now reside in both London and Canada. Although I am overwhelmed with writing and promotion projects, I plan to do a DNA test soon to see if all the genealogy searches are true.</p>

<p>Wish I could add into this, but I don't know my ancestry. I wouldn't even know where to begin. My grand parents on my mother's side passed away years before I was born. My grand parents on my dad's side don't really have the correct information either. Their not sure about the ancestry on their side. Seems like something that would be fun if I had the time to do the research.</p>

<p>Hi Stanley</p>
<p>That's quite a history, you've done some sterling work there.</p>
<p>You know varied gene pools are much stronger and more robust characters. We had a heap of money on the German side but the family lost most of it in the Wall Street Crash and the rest during the wars. Nevermind, we'll just have to make our own.

I don't know much about my mother's side of the family, but she is very fair skinned with light brown hair and hazel eyes so not typically Greek in looks. Most of her family are like that.</p>
