In the beginning there was Adam, Eve and Obama the first....
OH - and this supposed relation... all through his VERY White mother... yeah...
I thought he was Irish....?
Ah well. Next week we’ll probably learn he’s related to the first openly queer American. And surely there’s a Mexican in the mix. And his great-great-somebodies began a union to protect the workers ... in Hawaii, yeah that’s it, Hawaii...
It’s too bad we can’t check into Obama’s Kenyan family tree to see if his Muslim ancestors owned slaves.
They are leaving out a major part of this story. The man was sold by the white guy who owned his contract. He was sold to a BLACK man. When the contract was up, the White guy felt guilty and tried to buy the guy’s contract and set him free, but the BLACK slave owner, wouldn’t have any part of it and took the issue to court, where a judge ruled that the man was now a slave for life. The Black slave owner never set him free and in fact bought more slaves.
Glen Beck told this story.
I would think Punch would have to be a free man of color first in order to become an indentured servant.

Do I have this right?
They have records of the first American slave, who Obama is supposedy a decendent of, but no records they can show us on Obama?

I’ve made some amazing (and documented) discoveries about my family on Ancestry.com, but you really have to be careful. Sometimes other people’s trees contain erroneous information and can lead you on a wild goose chase.

Obama’s connection to Punch is similarly inconclusive, Shumway said. Researchers were able to use DNA evidence to track Obama’s lineage to a group of white landowners in Virginia. Historians know Punch fathered children with a white woman who passed on her free status. Those children grew up to become landowners in Virginia.
Pretty flimsy, if you ask me.
Hmm. My ancestors were white landowners in Virginia... I think I need a drink.
That was through the Frank Marshall Davis line, his REAL father’s family, right??

Obama still is not natural born.
,,,,,, are you sure they aren’t confused ,,,, maybe they ment to say that he has “slave owner” blood in him .
Just a personal experience w/Ancestry.com for whatever it may be worth....when the issue of Obama’s heritage first came up and before it became any kind of prominent issue anywhere, I was naive enough to figure that could easily be solved by Ancestry.com where I had been doing some of my own family research. Also, back then I am not sure I even knew why it mattered. Ancestry.com at that time gave Obama’s birthplace as Kenya and I don’t recall the other family info it gave but I saw no need to copy or print that info as I assumed I could easily access it again. It was easy enough that time. That was wrong. The next time I attempted to access the information, my computer hard drive crashed! The computer was maybe a couple of years old...no prior issues of any kind....just a random thing? Maybe but as I noticed the issue popping up more frequently coupled with our local GOP’s refusal to even engage in a conversation about what seemed to me to be a simple issue and the media either refusing to address or if they did it was by ridicule, let’s say I became less trusting of any information on that website. It was some time before I had the courage to access the information again which by that time had changed to reflect his birth in HI. Does anyone know who runs Ancestry.com? Snopes and FactCheck were “outed” some time ago so would be interesting to find any connections.
People who reject this load of horseStalin, demanding to see “paperwork” proof, will hereby be named “slavers”. After all, they gotta be somekinda bigots to not be in total awe of The One.
