There has never lived on this earth a person who could vouch 100% for the morals of his great great grandmother. No one knows what he is ethnically for certain except perhaps for some remote tribe and even then paternity is uncertain.

Technically you're right. I have no suspicions about my great-great-grandmothers, but I can't prove anything. I never even met any of them, although I inherited mitochondrial DNA from one of them.

I know the names of all 8, of which only 2 were born in the US. For one of them I have a photo and know a fair amount about her--she had 12 children (of whom only 4 were still alive when she died). My great-aunt was 15 when she died and told me a number of stories about her...very old-fashioned and very religious, married at 17, not likely to have gotten into much mischief.
