Not then. Soon.
Actually doing research on one’s ancestors can be eye-opening.
When doing ancestry research I found my great-grandmother on Ohio’s census for 1900, and surprise! She was listed alone, her son and husband not listed with her, and the census stating that she was ‘Colored’.
She always stated that she was Italian-Swiss. My grandfather, her son, would laugh. Supposedly, she was born in Memphis, TN, in 1874, but I cannot find any female baby from that time and place that matches her name. It is a mystery.
I suspect that with the increase in people searching for their ancestor’s backgrounds, many more will be surprised at what they find.
