That isn't weird, given what slave owners did with slaves.
Well that's cool that you found out some info on your ancestors.
All i know is that Almost all of my ancestors on my mom's side are Polish and one is a little bit Native American

Stay chooned in for more!
Ok, about to type it. Doesn't say Robert E. Lee like I thought it did byt my mother says she's always heard her whole life that we are related to him. doesn't really matter.
Parents of Joseph J. McPherson were Pinkney McPherson and Amanda Turley of Cobb county, Willie O'Church, near Roswell, Ga. Parents of Martha Jane Whitmire, S.C. The Rogers and Lees came to GA in 1857 and located near Dallas Ga.
Grandfather and Grandmother Rogers are buried at Mt. Zion Babtist Church south of Dallas, Georgia. Great Grandmother Lee is buried in the Dallas Cemetary. His grave is old cemented with conk shells placed in the cement over the top. He probably bought the conk shells from Charleston, S.C. He ran a commesary adnw ent to Columbia and Charleston to buy groceries, etc. Great grandmother Lee is buried in the Lee Cemetary near Whitmire, S.C. She died in Florida where she had gone to visit a brother and had been buried three days when Great Grandfather Lee received the news. He went in a wagon by himself and brought her home for burial in the Lee Cemetary. I think he must have loved her very much. She owned a Negro slave called "Black Mammy" and all the family loved "Black Mammy". "Black Mammy came to Georgia with the Lees and Rogers and Great Grandfather Lee gave her a home of her own when the slaves were freed. She is the only Negro in the Lee Cemetary.
Ohh my hand hurts
It's neat how they loved Black Mammy so much.

Yes that's very nice indeed! That's very good for your ancesters to have done that.
Geeze I wish that my family history was exciting like that.

Well that's still pretty darn exciting!
you could like use that to start some major coversations.
Unlike myself
I mean, how exciting does this sound?: "hey did you know that I'm have polish?" or "Hey guys! Did you know that I'm 1/2 Polish, 1/4 Native Amercian, and 1/4 hispanic (from some unknown country)?"

Huh?
Edit:Oops! nevermind! I got it now
About what herenorthere posted about it not being that strange as to what some slave owners did to slaves.
I'm really 3rd generation America, and 2nd generation American so I'm sure we didn't own slaves HERE. I wish I new more about my family history!
We learned a couple years ago that my father's grandfather was from what is now the Slovak Republic. My father's cousin did some research and found relatives there. One of whom had a photo of my father at about 8 with his family. So even though my father had no idea they existed, they had a photo of him. Unfortunately, my fathers parents were so anxious to Americanize they threw out their heritage. Luckily, my father went over a year ago and met more relative there than we have here. I still keep in touch with a couple of them. It's interesting to track your ancestry, but it's even better when it leads to live people.
