Yes Wilson county and Robeson county NC

I'm so happy to see you using the Full Text Search on Family Search. They are adding new record collections all the time. I was able to find out that my 2x great grandfather had a brother William. We had always heard that he did but no documentation had been found up until I found a deed in which he deeded some land to his "brother William". It was an exciting moment for sure!

Grew up outside of Raleigh in Wake Co.,our family beach cottage was in Emerald Isle, and I attended ECU as most of my family did before me. Great to hear this information on this platform. Can’t wait to dig into more! Thank you!

Circumcision was practiced by different indigenous people through out the Americas. The Aztec elite is an example. This does not mean it was learned from Jews or they were “Jewish Indians” as you imply here.

I am a descendant of crooked ol Governor Eaton. 🙋

😂

You looking at a Hatteras Island American Indian it's 2024 time to wake up American Indians were not white or Asian they look like me and the so-called African-Americans

My grandmother is the chief of the Hatteras Island Algonquin Indians when you say they were mixed there was not mixed The Lost Colony got killed off because they was invading the land and I wasn't supposed to be there

There were Hebrew we didn't want to show the white man what we were doing

Thanks for putting this together. I'm currently working on the the Barringtons.

I’m glad I stumbled across this video. I grew up in eastern NC and later lived on Roanoke Island for a couple of years. The history of the area always fascinated me. I ran across Kevin’s book on Blackbeard years ago and agree with his assertion. I left NC almost 15 years ago, but still like reading history. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it.

I can't believe the timing of this video as I've started collecting deeds for my family in Beaufort County. I've always heard that it wasn't possible if all you knew was just metes and bounds. I think that my GG Grandfather was buried on his land between Durham Creek and South Creek where there is now a Phosphate mine. Do we know what would have happened to the body if they had come across human remains? Anyway, I'm very interested in this process and am looking forward to attempting it. I've long wondered about the whereabouts of the properties that my ancestors lived on. Thank you!

Amazing history!

I heard a lot of white indentured servants from Ireland and Scotland in early 1800 to N Carolina. They were caught by pirates or the British and sent here.Did these indentured servant live with the black slaves at first?

Thank you so much for the information. I'm excited to explore the website. I took a quick look and found my family's name, Dew, on the Moseley Map!

Learned more about my 7th great-grandfather John Lawson and so much more! Sara is a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker. Thank you!

You look white 😂😂

Troy are you a slave 😅😅😅😅

Please help me find my family 😢😢😢

Thanks you very much I still have a lot to learn, some of the people who settle in Samana was Vanderhorst, King , Shepherd, Wilmore or Gilmore , Green all this surname

In 1824 a group of maybe 300 people settled in Samana Dominicans republic they said they came from Philadelphia but I believe it’s was from North Caroline I did a dna 🧬 test and also my father I see a lot of relative from this place she mention

The image of the war scene was tampered with. The original images have afros and folks of color. Why do folks do that?

Thanks for this . That slave ship diagram was just propaganda used by abolitionists. Millions of Africans were not brought here . Most of the slave population was prisoners of war from south eastern tribes . Huge cover up in the curriculum and reclassification of tribes took place .

Snowflake warning !

We aren't lost. I'm right here. My people are right here in North Carolina USA. Western North Carolina mountains

I recently read that ChatGPT is NOT a search engine. It is not designed to look up facts related to an ancestor. It is very good in compiling facts that are already know. For example. I might prompt "Describe what Des Moines, Iowa was like in 1845." I can get a better picture of the environment my ancestor might have lived. Even then, check, check, check.

And the descendants of bar Kohkba’s people are still among the Yuchi in Oklahoma..

Same wild grapes up here in Ithaca, NY

How did he write his book f he was killed ?

I am glad I found you. My ancestor was Joseph Pledger from Wales England so happy

This is one of the best historical videos of North Carolina, I have ever watch

I do not trust ChatGPT, probably never will. Having said that, I have heard that if you stick with a convo for a while the algorithm gets screwy. Try logging in, ask one specific question, then log out. Repeat and rinse. See if the accuracy is any better that way. I'd like to see that update. I am truly curious. You get a gold star for original subject material.

Hi! Just found your channel! I love your content. Can you please create a playlist so I can listen to all of them without it going to another channel? I would greatly appreciate that! 💗

Christopher Degraffenried is my 9th Great Grandfather..

I am so glad to have found this video and site. I have a whole lot of family ties to Danis shire/island, Beaufort, etc. The journey of discovery begins.

As a descendant of the people enslaved on Davis island, it is an interesting perspective. Both sides of my family come from the Carolinas and Bristol TN/VA. These include native people, mixed people, etc. I know these people and have family stories. I will say that it is good that things are at least being discussed and researched.

Thank you for being intellectually and historically, honest! There are too many blind fools and idiots who refuse to understand that the way people used to think in historical terms has changed, and that standards now do not compare to then. One must look at history, objectively, and in the context of that day Applying modern standards and thought to something that happened in history is morally and intellectually bankrupt.

Thank you! This was so helpful and well presented!

You are a great teacher. Thank You.

Fascinating! Thanks for all the time and work that went into this. For as much as it claims to search everything, it obviously does not yet do that. It probably will sometime soon, or it will begin to disclose its breadth or limits, but for genealogy, it is limited by available digital sources. This is great to know. Thanks again and all best wishes for your continuing searches.

Wonderful content ! .... I am trying to find the children of Samuel Wiggins b. 1777 ? from Craven County.

I have recently followed the East Carolina Roots web resources and I am understanding that I am a direct descendent of Captain James Blount. How would I go about verifying ?

Thanks for the shout out.

I have people from Western and Eastern N.C. And these roots go back to migrations down from Massachusetts Bay colony and Jamestown. Incredible

Thru-lines should generally not be used to replace actual research. The proper value of Thru-lines is testing hypothetical DNA connections. You can easily spot illegitimacies.

If you never tested your parent before they passed and there's no other older relatives hen you need to test at least 2 of your own siblings to hopefully catch most of your parent's DNA.

I've found a new Mayflower Decedent Badge pop up on my Family TreeDNA account recently from me Big - Y700 investment (on my father's side).

I've taken 17 different DNA test kits so far. A couple of them compare similar ethnicities. The other ones showed some different stuff. Are there certain DNA kits that are scams and you should avoid 🤔?

Based on what your saying is the reason why on ancestry they detect I've such a high Nigerian percentage when I've traced both sides of my family as far as 1767 to Jamaica. I am a first generation American and my parents, grandparents great grand parents, great great grandparents etc were born in Jamaica or the west indies. Do you think " Nigeria" is a blanket term used for people of " African" descent? I feel as though mostly all black people are lumped under being mostly Nigerian. Thank you for your content.

I applaud your interpretation of the Middle Passage project.
