The article says “most had no idea their ancestors owned slaves”. When I researched my early Texas ancestors in the First Census of Texas. all of the possessions listed were “2 slaves and a wooden clock”. I also found grave stones in the woods like the ones showed in the article. Genealogy research is fun, if you haven't tried it you should.

I also have researched my family, no slaves.....ever. So why am I still paying reparations?

I agree 100%. I had no idea who or how we got here from Ireland and discovered my ggGF landed in NYC in 1851.
After that I discovered why my family history was a secret - lots of alcohol problems, plus, discovered my great grandparents didn't marry until after two kids.
Oh, those Irishmen ...
