I didn’t realize that Ellis Island was required passage for Tidewater, VA folks.

They’ve all intermarried for generations. Which means that the Ellis Island arrivals and the Tidewater Virginia lines are all mixed up together.

I’d be shocked if there is anyone on this thread who doesn’t have some slaveholding lines somewhere in their family tree. The odds are very small.
