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.

HORSEFEATHERS !

Are you claiming that Hasidic Jews ( most of whom came here from Russia and Poland) have married someone who has a Tidewater Virginia ancestor?

How about those whose ancestors came from Japan or China ?

I've already told you that absolutely NOBODY in my extended family has married anyone with any connection with someone who can trace their lineage to someone who owned a slave, let alone to someone with any connection to an early settler in Virginia and the same id true of most of my friends, past or present!
