What a blessing my friend, it is never to late, please be praying with me about my mother, I feel in my bones that I am getting ready to find something out, I love you my friend!
I wish you well on your search. I think having access to DNA records has been an eye opener for me. I've learned things about my mother (now deceased) that I never knew while she was alive. And my husband who was adopted found his paternal family who are Choctaw Indians from Oklahoma. He didn't know he was Native American, but DNA results showed he was not only Korean, which we knew because he was adopted from Seoul Korea, but also Native American and European. It's been an amazing journey for us and I hope you will find the information you are seeking.
What a blessing, I am so glad to hear that DNA has blessed you and your husband, it is a blessing and has keep me moving, so sorry to hear that your mother is deceased but you are blessed to learn the pass, I don't care if it is good, bad, or ugly I deserve to know, be blessed my friend!
Oh Beverly, my heart goes out to you…I pray you find your Mom…I didn’t remember my Mom because I was only 15 months old when she passed…I hope and I pray that one day soon you find her..God’s Speed😘
I was born in 1953, on February 1, in New Orleans & adopted too; at almost 5 months old. Unusual circumstances. My birth name was told to me a few years ago by a social worker named Amy at the agency among other things, & then the President & CEO of the agency called me, said to drop it, don’t ask any questions, that they would never give out any info like that! I was told I was kept by my Birth Mother for 17 weeks, she did not want to give me up & supposedly named me Barbara Ann. Frustrating. Glad to have found your channel just yesterday. God Bless! August 15 was my adopted mama’s (RIP) birthday. I understand what you say completely.
Bless you, why do they treat us like we are nothing, we deserve to know where we came from, and doing those times it was hard, they did the best they could and your mother loved you so much she wanted you to have a better life, that's love, be blessed my friend and we are not alone.
@@BeverlyBlack We are not alone. I’m happy you & I connected virtually. My BM was 25, a widow from the war who met another man after his death. She was apparently from the west coast, I was told, but sent to New Orleans to give birth. The instructions were that I was ONLY to be adopted within the Deep South. Why? She wasn’t a teenager! Really fishy sounding to me. Once I was told they had a fire at the home & both my records & one other man’s burned. Was it a trash can 🔥 They don’t even know where I was for those lost months. We are old enough to be respected in wanting to know our past; Important health wise too. Take care & be blessed.
My mammaw was born in 1911. My mom in 1940. When my mom started showing Alzheimer’s symptoms, I did our research and made a book for her. She was so proud of that book. One of sisters did the DNA test. My mammaw had a son when she was a teen and he was adopted from that place in Tennessee that had been accused of illegal adoptions/stolen babies etc. He also has Alzheimer’s and his daughter was able to show him pictures and stuff from my tree so he got to see his mom before he passes away. The kicker: my mom moved 1000 miles from our home state and into a small community. The niece she never knew she had lived within 30 minutes of her.
Thank you for sharing your story of your beautiful family and your Mom being blessed with her niece so close and she didn't until the test, I am just excited and happy with your story, thanks for sharing and much blessing to you!
None of us picked our ancestors but it’s great to know what made us us. I suspect there are many secrets out there. You are precious. You might be related to me. I’d be happy. God bless yoi
found your story so interesting! shows why it's important for family to keep records to pass down. i knew my mom's parents, but little about their history, my dad not around much after i was 4, so didn't know much about him or his past- and he passed years ago. Now that i'm older and curious, no one is still left to ask or to help get information--and can't verify few stories I remember my mom or sister telling. I have started trying to gather family history together also using ancestry and DNA tests-so interesting! and surprising! will save and give to my kids so they may know a little about their family when they are older and interested. Love your calm mellow voice-so soothing! came for the recipes, stayed for the stories!!
Welcome to the family, I know what you are talking about, i still cannot understand why everything was such a secret, but you are right we need to let our children and ourself know where we come from, no, it is not easy but God will bring us through, i will be 70 August 15th and I am still searching, be blessed my friend!
Beverly I just clicked on your video by chance, and I totally agree with you when you said "it's like a whole missing in you, something is not complete". My Mother left when I was 2 years old, and I am now in my 50's, so I really hope that you find what you're looking for, and am glad you've made some good discoveries so far.
Thank you so much, your words put a smile on my face, because if you have't felt that pain you cannot understand completely, they can try to understand but it is a pain that you cannot put in words, be blessed my friend!
Beverly Black You too my sister. As they say 'he (or she) who feels it knows it'. When over the years I've seen friends going shopping with their Moms or sharing with their Moms what's going on in their lives it's always been a strange concept to me, and I've always wondered what that must feel like. So in a sad kinda way I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm hoping to do a DNA test soon, and hopefully I can find some family members that I CAN connect with. 😌
@@BeaunaturelleFeb11 I hope that you can get the DNA test, it will help find family members, and my friend we are going to make it, I believe that the Lord is going to show me the truth, I am 69 and we are never to old to learn things, be blessed my friend!
Omg, that's so heartbreaking but it's awesome to hear that you're able to get some answers and solve some of your mystery... 😮and👏...I LOVE your channel, Ms Black!! 💗💓💗💓💗
You can obtain a "Delayed Certificate Of Birth" with use of a sibling's (brother's) original birth certificate, which shows your mother's name along with Social Security documented information.
Thank you so much, I guess this is what I will have to do, I still want to find my mother if she is alive or dead I just want to know, so I can fill this hole that I have, I have founded back to to my 4th great grandfather, but cannot find my mother it is like she just dropped out.
I'm glad you found so much information out I've been searching myself for my mom's biological parents. She celebrates her birthday is July 15th 1954, but we really don't know if that's what it is.she was a foundling Prayers to you that you find your mama
I will keep you in my prayers, I know how you feel and I pray that one day that this whole in our hearts will be closed, it is so hard at times to explain to others why we have this pain, but God knows our struggle and he will bring us through, if there is anyway I can help or questions you may have I am here and anyway I can help will be a blessing to me.
My DNA profile lists several of the same countries as yours. Our percentages may be a little different but I think it’s awesome that we have so much in common. I have Irish, Welsh, Norway, British, indigenous American-Mexico, Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples. I enjoy genealogy and I am so excited that you’re able to find your family tree.
Aw wow thank you for sharing this 💗 it helps me to understand how my half sister feels...my mom and half sis were reunited in 2002 I think. ? You are so nice and beautiful too Im sure there was a good reason your mom couldn't get it together. Your page is a blessing 💕
Thank you so much Nopal, I needed to hear this today a little down but God always have a ram in the bushes, I am crying but it is a good cry tell your sister to keep looking up, God got us even when we feel alone he sends someone, like he sent you to me today, I love you sweetie but God loves you more.!
Good luck on your journey with finding your biological mother and family. I can relate 100%. I took the ancestry test as well awaiting my results. I was put up for adoption. I was told my biological mother committed suicide. I don’t even know how she looks or know anyone on her side of her family. You are so right that it’s like a feeling of incompletion not knowing.
Thank you for blessing me with your words, have you tried Ancestry? I have gone back so far to my 5th great grandfather on my mother's side, I cannot fine her so far but have founded all kinds of family members, I upgraded on that site and it open up the gates of information, birth certificates, census, pictures, deeds, wills, dealth certificates and so much more, it was well worth the upgrade, I have talked to several first cousins and one grew up with my mother, she ran away at 14 and they have not seen her since then but often wonder what happen to her, don't give up your break through is comimg, I want lie to you it has not been easy but well worth it!
Weldon is in Halifax County, North Carolina. Check the courthouse. If it not there check the counties next to Halifax. Also, in Maryland check Baltimore County and surrounding counties around Baltimore. Hope that will help.
Thanks for sharing your story. I find these dna journeys so fascinating. I hope you find more information out soon. We didn’t have extended family around us when I grew up, so my ancestry searches help put a picture together for me in some way.
@@BeverlyBlack I hope you are able to find her. I have a friend who was adopted from Korea and thought he would never find out the truth about his family. He did a dna search and was able to find his mom and two siblings in Germany! It’s an incredible story like you would see on long lost family. I hope you find what you are looking for with your story. ❤️🙏
How interesting, Mrs. Beverly!! I believe you could write a book with all the twists & turns of your story!! I sure do know what you mean about the hole inside of you when you don’t know the story of your birth & background - I have some of those same issues. You’ve come so far and uncovered so much! I’m proud of you and all the work you put in and I understand the little rage part too. Sometimes we get discouraged or hurt by things that in the end we realize that God put us right where we need to be. At least in my story, I know where I ended up was where I belonged. But thank you for sharing this And your wonderful recipes!! I’ve subscribed & saved a few I want to try soon. God bless & good luck on your search!! I’ll be looking out on the New York Bestseller List for that book that I hope you write one day!! Much Love!!
Thank you so much it has not been a easy journey but God did not say it would be but through it all he still blessed me and I do love him, the last 2 months has been a test my husband died the day before Thanksgiving his sister died 2 days after Christmas, but God has carried us through, it has been hard but God got us through, one day at a time!
Originally the term mulatto meant of mixed Native American with white European or African with a combination of those you get Metis or Melungeon if it has multiple ethnicities besides just those. It has been relatively recent that they changed the definition of mulatto from the original only when they took the more likely Native American / Indigenous out of the equation that was previously common by removing them from their ancestral homelands. It would be Metis or Melungeon.
Wow Beverly I can not believe you are a day older than 55. I truly hope you can find the missing piece of the puzzle as to your birth mother. You look amazing. God bless! ❤️
Northern North Carolina has a lot of people considered Malatto! They are mixed black, white and Native American. A lot of people back than moved to Baltimore, DC and Phillyto find jobs. My family is from Hollister.
I used to work for law enforcement and I spoke with law enforcement from Baltimore. I asked him about a Lumbee community that moved there many years ago. He said it was still there but a lot of Mexicans are moving in that community.
Is it possible that you were born at home, and your parents never applied for a birth certificate? Also, I had hit a research brick wall for a long time, but all it took was one Ancestry hint for a previously unknown ancestor to take me all the way to my 14th great grandfather and grandmother, and my 15th great grandfather, all on my mother’s side! I’ve only been able to go as far as my 3rd GGF and GGM on my dad’s side, but I’m always checking and tracing those hints. Best of luck to you! 💜
Thank you, I was blessed to see and talk with my biological father before he died, and he sent for my birth certificate and couldn't find it and he told me I was born at John Hopkins on the date I use, but he may have it wrong, I have a brother who was to another family and I had no problems getting his and he was born at the same hospital, I just don't understand but one day I will.
Hello! I guess we could be cousins because my mother and her entire line came from Ireland 🇮🇪and my father's line ( grandfather immigrated from Norway) and grandmother immigrated from Cape Breton Island Novia Scotia . See, we are all related by 💘😻💜. Today is my second day as a subscriber and when I listen to you soothing voice and story telling, I feel like I am speaking with a friend! Our world needs more kindness and you are creating a chain of connection! Keep looking 👀for your family line! You deserve to know that peace! Blessings 🙌prayers 🙏🏻and love to you today!
Gretchen, you just blessed my soul, and that is what I want everyone to feel is love and family, be blessed my dear friend, I love you but God loves you more!
My dad was born at home and his birth wasn't registered although his 2 older brothers were. My daughter's father also wasn't registered (another home birth) but his momma was very young at the time.
I thought that also because of her age, being so young, but I talked to my biological father before he died and he told me I was born there and tried to help me but he hit a wall also.
Thanks for sharing, Speak to your mom in the spirit world then allow her time to reveal herself because sometimes our ancestors are reluctant to reveal themselves don’t rush it just let her come forward.
@@BeverlyBlack Make a space for her. You can place a Mother’s Day card, glass of water or whatever calls to you. Just make the space sacred so that she knows she is welcome in your home.
@@BeverlyBlack For your indigenous ancestry specifically the Mexican part you can download your raw data file from ancestry and then upload it to SOMOS ancestria for less then $40, they focus on helping people with Central and South American ancestry find their tribal connections. I uploaded mine and I have Mayan and Zapotec ancestry I also have Apache and Mojave Indian they were back and forth into and out of Mexico.
I love Ancestry stories! I enjoy watching EVERYTHING Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.! (L.L. Cool J’s story is my very favorite. I hope you will watch it!) Also loved the show ‘DNA Detective’. It was on for one season. I’ve got my fingers crossed for another season.
I haven't done a DNA test, but on Anestry isn't there a way to show results of others that share your DNA? You mentioned your mom's sister, was she able to give you any information about your mom? I hope you find someone that can help you put the pieces together of your family.
Yes you can link up with others if their tree is not private, I meet my mother sister and talked to her often before she died and the last time she saw my mother she was 13 or 14, it is all such a mystery.
@@BeverlyBlack There's a show on TLC called Long Lost Family that help adoptive people to find their biological family , maybe you can pitch your story to the producers, it's worth a try! There's a Q&A under help on the TLC website that might be helpful.
I’m just a triracial Creole with African, Spanish, Sicilian, French, Irish, and Choctaw Indian. My dna results came as 40% European, 36% African, 22% Native American, 1% North African, and 1% Hawaiian and Togaoan.
Hi, I'm biracial and Native American. Did you say McPherson 'cause I recall McPherson in my family on Ancestry. This is on my mother's side; her biological father. My maternal grandfather. I have a distant immediate family members living in Maryland. We back track family members back to Wilson, North Carolina. Perhaps I could help you?
Yes I did, my mother sister was married to a McPherson, she live in Calif. and is now deceased, who knows we may be distant family, because my family is in NC,Baltimore, NY and NJ.
Also McPherson family did originally from Iverness, Scotland and immigrated in somewhere near Charles County, Maryland where they buried. They moved to North Carolina. I see that on my line. I'm trap on the 7th great grandparents and so I look at the McPherson cousins going back to late 1600 in Scotland. The cousins are located in North Carolina.
You're a beautiful lady and I believe you will find closure. I have many cousins who are doing the DNA test looking for their family and information about their parents. I hope to have a connection with them to bond and help grow my family.
Good luck with your search. Someone suggested to me that I should also do 123 and me if I didn't find the family members I was looking for on Ancestry, which I didn't. I haven't done the second test yet, tho.
@@BeverlyBlack we don’t know anyone from my father’s mother side of the family. My mom thought it was because my dad was estranged with that side of the family. That was a nice illusion, I think. I think they all died in the holocaust.
I’m thinking you were born in NC. Maybe it was a home birth that wasn’t documented or maybe there was a hospital for “Colored” people in Maryland back then, or maybe you were given a different name when you were born. Have you looked at the DNA connections on Ancestry? Side-note we share the same birthday Aug. 15
We are blessed to share the same birthday, my story is very long, I met my biological father before he died, i went to his funeral, he said I was born at John Hopskins in Baltimore, I have a brother one year younger than me and he has his birth certificate and was born there, my mother was a teenager and my father left her and 2 babies in Baltimore by themselves and went back to his family in NC, she came back later and gave us to 2 different families we where never legally adopted, it is a sad story with a lot more to it but I am on Ancestry and have ran my family tree on both sides I have went to my 4th great grandfather but cannot find my mother, it is like she just disappeared.
In ancestry can you find your birth certificate with the birth date from your school record ? I'd try again with the year 51 to look for it. (( In Missouri we go to the health dept. And they'll find your birth certificate I don't think you'd need an exact date if you know your parents names.. I'd call the health dept. In the state where you were born and ask questions. Best wishes hugs ))
Thank you so much Elizabeth, it has been a long journey, but what God has for me is for me, I know one day I will know the truth, have a awesome Christmas and New Year.
God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I really hope you find all the answers you are looking for. I Really found your story interesting ❤️🧡💛💚💜❤️💜🤎🖤🤍♥️❤️💛🤍🖤💚🧡❤️💚💙❤️🤎🖤🤍
Well, let me tell you what!!!! That AFRICAN is kicking through and throug. You can forget the rest. I might mixed with 57 things but my AFRICAN is kicking through and through too!!! Bump the rest!!!!
Hello my friend, I don't know what you are saying , but I appreciate that you watched this video, and I sense such a sweet spirit from you, have a blessed day!
Here's the best lead I can give you. The word Black litterally means Multi-racials (Mulotten, Creoles, Mestizos, Zamboes, Coloureds (Farbige), Moriscos, Mauriske....)
Have you tried doing a state birth records search by last name ? Each state typically had a search method were you can search for birth, death , marriage and divorce records. These records will show a lot of names, it will show counties- city etc . Example in your instance it might show you being born in a suburb city of Baltimore.. now also its possible you could have been born at home and your birth was never recorded. I had some relatives that were born in Indian Territory - their births were recorded after their children were adults.
I have tried almost everything, I meet my biological father before he died and he said my birthday was right and I was born at John Hopkins in Md. I have a brother born a year after me he has his birth certificate and was born at JH and you can use a sibling to search and they still could not find anything, I have been searching for years, thank you for been concern and blessing me.
Good morning Vernell, my aunt as born in NC, I talk to her several times before she died, she had not seen my mother her sister since she was 13 when she left home and never heard from her.
@@BeverlyBlack Oh I know you said She passed away her sister if her kids were born in California clear and you need to find them I'm dumb you can look them up through California birth records By their name and their birthday if your cousins were born in California
@@vernelllevingston1800 I have been in touch with them, their mother never talked about my mother 2 of her kids where shocked she had a sister, back then families keep secret's and took them to the grave one of her sons I talk to often he didn't even know his mother father she never talked about her life before Calif.
I pray that you will find him or find out about him, we need to know where we came from,, please keep me updated on your journey, many blessings to you my friend.
If she were still alive she would be over 100. Hopefully if you have a first cousins showing up you may be able to get more information. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. 🙏🏽
@@BeverlyBlack I hope so, as far as most people are concerned I am white as the West Indian part of my family is my great great grandad, but I'm intrigued to find out more about my West Indian/African heritage. I find it especially intriguing as there wouldn't have been a lot of black people in England at the time. There is a possibility that he was a police man, but we're not 100% sure but that would have been rarer still, However Manchester police don't have many records from that time, again many have been destroyed.
In some states it is, I had forgotten that word until I started building my family tree and a lot of my ancestors paper work for race they have that, it upset me at first but I realize seems like every so many years our race name change, I am researching it now to try and fully understand.
I am.scared to do DNA ain't NO telling what I will find. I would LOVE to know what part of Africa I come from. I also did NOT do my DNA because Ancestry owns the rights to it.
I just wanted to know, something sometimes out weight want they can do with your info, if I can find out about my family it is worth it to me to get these feelings of not belonging anywhere, I know in my heart that I am somebody but this flesh keeps pushing feelings out.
You’re very African influenced I would just claim black, where I’m from if your about 80% polynesian you’re pretty much full polynesian. That’s how I see things, some go out of there way and say there “very mixed” lol
I found out that my great grandfather was another man. I found out my last name isn't my real last name. I found it strange u never heard of this before. The same thing happened. An affair with a married man.
I lived very tight life, I couldn't go places, not to go out of the yard, and on, so a lot I didn't or know to ask, so that held me back and trust was gone crazy, I just want to know my story.
Thank you, but I meet my biological father before he died and he was with my mother then and he told me I was born at John Hopkins in Md on my birthdate and he tried to help me get my birth certificate and it didn't work for him.
You only get 1 mitochondrial dna ( ethnicity) it's your female line and it matches everybody else in your ethnic group. Your chromosomes is your family trees of your parents and body makeup, not ethnic
@@BeverlyBlack extant Exactly, folks is lying to people making then think their ancestry is ethnic,no its not. You'll find your mother and ethnic group through your mitochondrial dna, only mothers pass it off.
The 1% Indigenous-Mexican is from the Indian Grandma you say you have but as a percent is very low. But is Native American is the word from the (American Continent) no only United State of America as a Country.
@@BeverlyBlack It's low, which just means that the last "full blooded Native American" was probably 6-8 generations ago. It still shows you did have Native ancestry. Congrats on your video and good luck with your research. I am currently still working on my family as well, including my 3rd great-grand-mom, born in 1845!
@@BeverlyBlack Yes we are! I actually have gone back to the late 1790's on my later maternal grandmother's father lineage. She was pretty good at keeping the family information passed down. :)
True story: two of my cousins never could enroll in school because their mother had their birth certificates. Their births had never been registered and when she disappeared they didn’t exist. Family taught them how to read and write. Their mother married a white man and abandoned them. She tried to get the youngest one because she looked like her but she refused to leave her sister. They had different fathers so the older one was brown with coarse hair and the younger was light with light eyes and straight hair like her mother. This happened in MY family and both cousins are in their mid 60s!!!
What it means is mule. And ma’am you not that. You’re a typical black american. Most who are in fact of mixed race have no desire to be called such. Nameste
You got that right, it really upset me when I first realize that is what it meant, but God knows the truth, it is so sad how you can be treated because of the color of your skin, but all of our blood is red.
Mulato is a spanish word.for 1 black 1 white parent Really it translate yo mule not very nice so some find that word offansive . Most african americans have betwwen 5to 25% europen Many whites who have ancestors gong back to become 1800 have some black in them as well.
Blessings Luv🍃🍃🌹🕊 Congratulations on your discovery, my grandma was mullatto and her father as well and my great granddad was pure Caucasian
Wow, that is so fascinating, we are never to old to learn things, thanks so much for watching.
Hello Fellow Khmt Lover :-)
I just found my 72 year old brother. He never knew I existed, I knew about him. God will do this for you as well with your family Sister.
What a blessing my friend, it is never to late, please be praying with me about my mother, I feel in my bones that I am getting ready to find something out, I love you my friend!
Sucks you never got to meet him as a kid but I guess late better than never
I wish you well on your search. I think having access to DNA records has been an eye opener for me. I've learned things about my mother (now deceased) that I never knew while she was alive. And my husband who was adopted found his paternal family who are Choctaw Indians from Oklahoma. He didn't know he was Native American, but DNA results showed he was not only Korean, which we knew because he was adopted from Seoul Korea, but also Native American and European. It's been an amazing journey for us and I hope you will find the information you are seeking.
What a blessing, I am so glad to hear that DNA has blessed you and your husband, it is a blessing and has keep me moving, so sorry to hear that your mother is deceased but you are blessed to learn the pass, I don't care if it is good, bad, or ugly I deserve to know, be blessed my friend!
WOW this was a great video and I really hope people will have help you find information... You deserve it.!
I feel that it is coming soon, Monday will be her birthday 2-22-1936, if she is still living I pray that she has a blessed birthday!
Oh Beverly, my heart goes out to you…I pray you find your Mom…I didn’t remember my Mom because I was only 15 months old when she passed…I hope and I pray that one day soon you find her..God’s Speed😘

When over the years I've seen friends going shopping with their Moms or sharing with their Moms what's going on in their lives it's always been a strange concept to me, and I've always wondered what that must feel like. So in a sad kinda way I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm hoping to do a DNA test soon, and hopefully I can find some family members that I CAN connect with. 😌
@@BeaunaturelleFeb11 I hope that you can get the DNA test, it will help find family members, and my friend we are going to make it, I believe that the Lord is going to show me the truth, I am 69 and we are never to old to learn things, be blessed my friend!
Beverly Black Bev you're absolutely right. We are never too old to learn things. And just in case you didn't know, you look fabulous for 69!!! 😊🤗😉
Omg, that's so heartbreaking but it's awesome to hear that you're able to get some answers and solve some of your mystery... 😮and👏...I LOVE your channel, Ms Black!! 💗💓💗💓💗
Thank you so much and welcome to the family.
You're very welcome and I'm very happy to be here💓
You can obtain a "Delayed Certificate Of Birth" with use of a sibling's (brother's) original birth certificate, which shows your mother's name along with Social Security documented information.
Thank you so much, I guess this is what I will have to do, I still want to find my mother if she is alive or dead I just want to know, so I can fill this hole that I have, I have founded back to to my 4th great grandfather, but cannot find my mother it is like she just dropped out.
I hope you find your family and all the answers you are looking for! God bless you and have a blessed day!!!
Thank you, I will, because God promise me the desires of my heart and I believe it, be blessed precious.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while now. It also would be a great family gift to give. Thanks for the share Beverly. 🌱💚🙏🌞
You are so welcome, and it is a awesome gift.
I'm glad you found so much information out I've been searching myself for my mom's biological parents. She celebrates her birthday is July 15th 1954, but we really don't know if that's what it is.she was a foundling Prayers to you that you find your mama
I will keep you in my prayers, I know how you feel and I pray that one day that this whole in our hearts will be closed, it is so hard at times to explain to others why we have this pain, but God knows our struggle and he will bring us through, if there is anyway I can help or questions you may have I am here and anyway I can help will be a blessing to me.
My DNA profile lists several of the same countries as yours. Our percentages may be a little different but I think it’s awesome that we have so much in common. I have Irish, Welsh, Norway, British, indigenous American-Mexico, Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples. I enjoy genealogy and I am so excited that you’re able to find your family tree.
We are all family, it is really beautiful but there are some who cannot see, but we are blessed in this family.
Yes! We are bless to see that we are all family. God bless you.
Aw wow thank you for sharing this 💗 it helps me to understand how my half sister feels...my mom and half sis were reunited in 2002 I think. ? You are so nice and beautiful too Im sure there was a good reason your mom couldn't get it together. Your page is a blessing 💕
Thank you so much Nopal, I needed to hear this today a little down but God always have a ram in the bushes, I am crying but it is a good cry tell your sister to keep looking up, God got us even when we feel alone he sends someone, like he sent you to me today, I love you sweetie but God loves you more.!
@@BeverlyBlack I love you too please don't be sad!
Good luck on your journey with finding your biological mother and family. I can relate 100%. I took the ancestry test as well awaiting my results. I was put up for adoption. I was told my biological mother committed suicide. I don’t even know how she looks or know anyone on her side of her family. You are so right that it’s like a feeling of incompletion not knowing.
Thank you for blessing me with your words, have you tried Ancestry? I have gone back so far to my 5th great grandfather on my mother's side, I cannot fine her so far but have founded all kinds of family members, I upgraded on that site and it open up the gates of information, birth certificates, census, pictures, deeds, wills, dealth certificates and so much more, it was well worth the upgrade, I have talked to several first cousins and one grew up with my mother, she ran away at 14 and they have not seen her since then but often wonder what happen to her, don't give up your break through is comimg, I want lie to you it has not been easy but well worth it!
Weldon is in Halifax County, North Carolina. Check the courthouse. If it not there check the counties next to Halifax. Also, in Maryland check Baltimore County and surrounding counties around Baltimore. Hope that will help.
I am trying all that and thank you so much for your ideas, God is going to bring me throug this, I believe that!
Thanks for sharing your story. I find these dna journeys so fascinating. I hope you find more information out soon. We didn’t have extended family around us when I grew up, so my ancestry searches help put a picture together for me in some way.
I have enjoyed this journey, finding family members but still cannot find my mother.
@@BeverlyBlack I hope you are able to find her. I have a friend who was adopted from Korea and thought he would never find out the truth about his family. He did a dna search and was able to find his mom and two siblings in Germany! It’s an incredible story like you would see on long lost family. I hope you find what you are looking for with your story. ❤️🙏
We are both the same age Beverly. I had a hard time tracing my dad’s family. You have found quite a bit about your family.
That is awesome! I upgraded on Ancestry and that open up a lot of information, I am so glad I made that investment.
How interesting, Mrs. Beverly!! I believe you could write a book with all the twists & turns of your story!! I sure do know what you mean about the hole inside of you when you don’t know the story of your birth & background - I have some of those same issues. You’ve come so far and uncovered so much! I’m proud of you and all the work you put in and I understand the little rage part too. Sometimes we get discouraged or hurt by things that in the end we realize that God put us right where we need to be. At least in my story, I know where I ended up was where I belonged. But thank you for sharing this And your wonderful recipes!! I’ve subscribed & saved a few I want to try soon. God bless & good luck on your search!!
I’ll be looking out on the New York Bestseller List for that book that I hope you write one day!! Much Love!!
Thank you so much it has not been a easy journey but God did not say it would be but through it all he still blessed me and I do love him, the last 2 months has been a test my husband died the day before Thanksgiving his sister died 2 days after Christmas, but God has carried us through, it has been hard but God got us through, one day at a time!
Originally the term mulatto meant of mixed Native American with white European or African with a combination of those you get Metis or Melungeon if it has multiple ethnicities besides just those. It has been relatively recent that they changed the definition of mulatto from the original only when they took the more likely Native American / Indigenous out of the equation that was previously common by removing them from their ancestral homelands. It would be Metis or Melungeon.
Thank you, I did not know this, on this journey I have learned so much, we are never to old to learn.
VERY TRUE. It meant mixed of any race. I would like to add Mexican was classified as White on old census also
Wow Beverly I can not believe you are a day older than 55. I truly hope you can find the missing piece of the puzzle as to your birth mother. You look amazing. God bless! ❤️
Thank you so much I truly appreciate it!
This video was very sweet. If you are close to Raleigh, NC there is a Family History Center there. Good luck on your search for your family. :)
Thanks for the info! I live in Tn. but I appreciate you sharing that with me.
I forgot to ask will you please share this video out for me in the NC area, I would so appreciate, and thanks in advance.
@@BeverlyBlack Of course. :) You're welcome.
Northern North Carolina has a lot of people considered Malatto! They are mixed black, white and Native American. A lot of people back than moved to Baltimore, DC and Phillyto find jobs. My family is from Hollister.
Hello my neighbor, so true what you have said, our people loved those areas but like you said the job opportunity was much better.
I used to work for law enforcement and I spoke with law enforcement from Baltimore. I asked him about a Lumbee community that moved there many years ago. He said it was still there but a lot of Mexicans are moving in that community.
@@BronzeSista Thank you so much for caring and doing.
Is it possible that you were born at home, and your parents never applied for a birth certificate? Also, I had hit a research brick wall for a long time, but all it took was one Ancestry hint for a previously unknown ancestor to take me all the way to my 14th great grandfather and grandmother, and my 15th great grandfather, all on my mother’s side! I’ve only been able to go as far as my 3rd GGF and GGM on my dad’s side, but I’m always checking and tracing those hints.
Best of luck to you! 💜
Thank you, I was blessed to see and talk with my biological father before he died, and he sent for my birth certificate and couldn't find it and he told me I was born at John Hopkins on the date I use, but he may have it wrong, I have a brother who was to another family and I had no problems getting his and he was born at the same hospital, I just don't understand but one day I will.
Wow so much information that you were able to find about your birth mother..I can see how this could be emotional yet exciting.
It is very emotional but I am not giving up, when I fine something I will upload a video.
Hello! I guess we could be cousins because my mother and her entire line came from Ireland 🇮🇪and my father's line ( grandfather immigrated from Norway) and grandmother immigrated from Cape Breton Island Novia Scotia . See, we are all related by 💘😻💜. Today is my second day as a subscriber and when I listen to you soothing voice and story telling, I feel like I am speaking with a friend! Our world needs more kindness and you are creating a chain of connection! Keep looking 👀for your family line! You deserve to know that peace! Blessings 🙌prayers 🙏🏻and love to you today!
Gretchen, you just blessed my soul, and that is what I want everyone to feel is love and family, be blessed my dear friend, I love you but God loves you more!
My grandmother was from Weldon NC. I was born in Baltimore MD as well.
I love it! Weldon people loved to go to Va and Baltimore, so happy to meet you!
My dad was born at home and his birth wasn't registered although his 2 older brothers were. My daughter's father also wasn't registered (another home birth) but his momma was very young at the time.
I thought that also because of her age, being so young, but I talked to my biological father before he died and he told me I was born there and tried to help me but he hit a wall also.
What a wonderful search, Beverly! I hope you learn al that you seek. I am hoping you will learn we are cousins! I LOVE YOU!
I hope so too! We are blood, and no one can take tat away, will you informed on this journey. Love you Cuz!
Thanks for sharing, Speak to your mom in the spirit world then allow her time to reveal herself because sometimes our ancestors are reluctant to reveal themselves don’t rush it just let her come forward.
Thank you, I will.
@@BeverlyBlack Make a space for her.
You can place a Mother’s Day card, glass of water or whatever calls to you.
Just make the space sacred so that she knows she is welcome in your home.
@@BeverlyBlack For your indigenous ancestry specifically the Mexican part you can download your raw data file from ancestry and then upload it to SOMOS ancestria for less then $40, they focus on helping people with Central and South American ancestry find their tribal connections.
I uploaded mine and I have Mayan and Zapotec ancestry I also have Apache and Mojave Indian they were back and forth into and out of Mexico.
I love Ancestry stories! I enjoy watching EVERYTHING Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.! (L.L. Cool J’s story is my very favorite. I hope you will watch it!)
Also loved the show ‘DNA Detective’. It was on for one season. I’ve got my fingers crossed for another season.
Glad you enjoyed it, I have the same love for those shows, have to watch myself sometimes I get really caught up.
I love that show too! I love history. If our world and people would realize we are more alike than different! Dr. Gates always says that!
@@1stltwife,
Does Miss. Beverly’s story kind of remind you of L.L. Cool J’s story too?
Interesting story.
Glad you think so!
I haven't done a DNA test, but on Anestry isn't there a way to show results of others that share your DNA? You mentioned your mom's sister, was she able to give you any information about your mom? I hope you find someone that can help you put the pieces together of your family.
Yes you can link up with others if their tree is not private, I meet my mother sister and talked to her often before she died and the last time she saw my mother she was 13 or 14, it is all such a mystery.
@@BeverlyBlack There's a show on TLC called Long Lost Family that help adoptive people to find their biological family , maybe you can pitch your story to the producers, it's worth a try! There's a Q&A under help on the TLC website that might be helpful.
@@arlisaburkes82
I hope she read your response. :)
I’m just a triracial Creole with African, Spanish, Sicilian, French, Irish, and Choctaw Indian. My dna results came as 40% European, 36% African, 22% Native American, 1% North African, and 1% Hawaiian and Togaoan.
You are blessed with a beautiful mixer, thank you for watching.
I wish you luck in finding your family. You seem like a wonderful lady.
Thank you so much!
Wow! You look about 40 to me,interesting results.
Wow, thank you!
I pray you find peace. 💜
Thank you so much, I believe everything will work out.
Hi, I'm biracial and Native American. Did you say McPherson 'cause I recall McPherson in my family on Ancestry. This is on my mother's side; her biological father. My maternal grandfather. I have a distant immediate family members living in Maryland. We back track family members back to Wilson, North Carolina. Perhaps I could help you?
Yes I did, my mother sister was married to a McPherson, she live in Calif. and is now deceased, who knows we may be distant family, because my family is in NC,Baltimore, NY and NJ.
Also McPherson family did originally from Iverness, Scotland and immigrated in somewhere near Charles County, Maryland where they buried. They moved to North Carolina. I see that on my line. I'm trap on the 7th great grandparents and so I look at the McPherson cousins going back to late 1600 in Scotland. The cousins are located in North Carolina.
You're a beautiful lady and I believe you will find closure. I have many cousins who are doing the DNA test looking for their family and information about their parents. I hope to have a connection with them to bond and help grow my family.
What a blessings, families coming together, I love it, enjoy my friend, the feeling is real and thank you my friend.
Good luck with your search. Someone suggested to me that I should also do 123 and me if I didn't find the family members I was looking for on Ancestry, which I didn't. I haven't done the second test yet, tho.
You can do it! We need to know our truth.
@@BeverlyBlack we don’t know anyone from my father’s mother side of the family. My mom thought it was because my dad was estranged with that side of the family. That was a nice illusion, I think. I think they all died in the holocaust.
What a delicious recipe, and shows lots of us whities we must be mixed as well!
Yes, you are right.
Yep!
I'm so mixed. European, North and South American, African, Asian.
Yes all of you are. :)
way to goo!!! yay
Thank you for watching.
I’m thinking you were born in NC. Maybe it was a home birth that wasn’t documented or maybe there was a hospital for “Colored” people in Maryland back then, or maybe you were given a different name when you were born. Have you looked at the DNA connections on Ancestry? Side-note we share the same birthday Aug. 15
We are blessed to share the same birthday, my story is very long, I met my biological father before he died, i went to his funeral, he said I was born at John Hopskins in Baltimore, I have a brother one year younger than me and he has his birth certificate and was born there, my mother was a teenager and my father left her and 2 babies in Baltimore by themselves and went back to his family in NC, she came back later and gave us to 2 different families we where never legally adopted, it is a sad story with a lot more to it but I am on Ancestry and have ran my family tree on both sides I have went to my 4th great grandfather but cannot find my mother, it is like she just disappeared.
In ancestry can you find your birth certificate with the birth date from your school record ? I'd try again with the year 51 to look for it.
(( In Missouri we go to the health dept. And they'll find your birth certificate I don't think you'd need an exact date if you know your parents names.. I'd call the health dept. In the state where you were born and ask questions.
Best wishes hugs ))
Thank you so much Elizabeth, it has been a long journey, but what God has for me is for me, I know one day I will know the truth, have a awesome Christmas and New Year.
Get Dane Calloway's book it will help you alot
Thank you, I will look into it!
Good luck on your family search
Thank you! I am not giving up, I have to do this.
That lipstick looks really nice on you.
Oh thank you!
God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I really hope you find all the answers you are looking for. I Really found your story interesting ❤️🧡💛💚💜❤️💜🤎🖤🤍♥️❤️💛🤍🖤💚🧡❤️💚💙❤️🤎🖤🤍
Thank you, I will and I believe that.
This is an interesting story you shared im still waiting to get my test results I’ll be very surprised at what my results are 😄😄
I am so excited for you, it is such a blessing to see what is mixed in me, where I came from, wow, enjoy your journey.
@@BeverlyBlack thank you Mrs!
Well, let me tell you what!!!! That AFRICAN is kicking through and throug. You can forget the rest. I might mixed with 57 things but my AFRICAN is kicking through and through too!!! Bump the rest!!!!
I love my African heritage.
Bom dia amiga vim conhecer seu trabalho gostei imenço de assistir seu video , a senhora é uma Mulher muito simpatica gostei muito bjs like 52!!
Hello my friend, I don't know what you are saying , but I appreciate that you watched this video, and I sense such a sweet spirit from you, have a blessed day!
Your genetics don't indicate Native American Ancestry as being recent 1% means way way back
I felt it would be higher than that, you just never know.
I love you
Have you checked the state you were born in vital records? Does your brother have his birth certificate?
Yes, I went there and checked the 3 states close to Baltimore, nothing, I have been a lot.
Here's the best lead I can give you. The word Black litterally means Multi-racials (Mulotten, Creoles, Mestizos, Zamboes, Coloureds (Farbige), Moriscos, Mauriske....)
Alright now!😄
@@BeverlyBlack Yes, it's true. It means "Sorte" like assorted, or Schwarze.
Have you tried doing a state birth records search by last name ? Each state typically had a search method were you can search for birth, death , marriage and divorce records. These records will show a lot of names, it will show counties- city etc . Example in your instance it might show you being born in a suburb city of Baltimore.. now also its possible you could have been born at home and your birth was never recorded. I had some relatives that were born in Indian Territory - their births were recorded after their children were adults.
I have tried almost everything, I meet my biological father before he died and he said my birthday was right and I was born at John Hopkins in Md. I have a brother born a year after me he has his birth certificate and was born at JH and you can use a sibling to search and they still could not find anything, I have been searching for years, thank you for been concern and blessing me.
Miss Beverly look up California birth records if your auntie's kids were born in Monterey it would be on there
Good morning Vernell, my aunt as born in NC, I talk to her several times before she died, she had not seen my mother her sister since she was 13 when she left home and never heard from her.
@@BeverlyBlack Oh I know you said She passed away her sister if her kids were born in California clear and you need to find them I'm dumb you can look them up through California birth records By their name and their birthday if your cousins were born in California
@@vernelllevingston1800 I have been in touch with them, their mother never talked about my mother 2 of her kids where shocked she had a sister, back then families keep secret's and took them to the grave one of her sons I talk to often he didn't even know his mother father she never talked about her life before Calif.
@@BeverlyBlack OK got you have a blessed day
I am 60 just took my DNA test I never new my father only had a name so made I will finely find out what I am and who he was Jackie in FL
I pray that you will find him or find out about him, we need to know where we came from,, please keep me updated on your journey, many blessings to you my friend.
Thank you sweetheart I will have a blessed day Jackie
If she were still alive she would be over 100. Hopefully if you have a first cousins showing up you may be able to get more information. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much, in God time I know he will reveal the truth to me!
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You will find your family my friend.
The American story is that we are all related.
Some kind of way, but the journey is hard.
Good luck with your search, we are trying to find information about relatives from Saint Vincent but all the records got destroyed by a volcano!
So sorry, it is a hard journey, but we are going to make it!
@@BeverlyBlack I hope so, as far as most people are concerned I am white as the West Indian part of my family is my great great grandad, but I'm intrigued to find out more about my West Indian/African heritage. I find it especially intriguing as there wouldn't have been a lot of black people in England at the time. There is a possibility that he was a police man, but we're not 100% sure but that would have been rarer still, However Manchester police don't have many records from that time, again many have been destroyed.
Mulatto is pronounced moo-lot-toe.
. Your decendents are those that are born after you. You ancestors were born before you. You are their descendant.
Thank you!
Is mulatto a derogatory word? In Texas it was not, but in California I was told that it was. Any insights?
In some states it is, I had forgotten that word until I started building my family tree and a lot of my ancestors paper work for race they have that, it upset me at first but I realize seems like every so many years our race name change, I am researching it now to try and fully understand.
It is different if you were adopted and did not grow up with your biological family and relatives.
Yes my friend, I never felt like I belong to anyone, it is a awful feeling but God brought me through it.
Well me too. If we cross paths I’ll call you. I’ve dna
Please do and have a blessed day!
Dang she was VERY young when she had you.
Yes she was 16, and then was left in Baltimore with 2 babies and NO job.
Are you referring to mulatto?
Yes lol, I have this Tn and NC accent lol.
MU- LA-TO
I am.scared to do DNA ain't NO telling what I will find. I would LOVE to know what part of Africa I come from. I also did NOT do my DNA because Ancestry owns the rights to it.
I just wanted to know, something sometimes out weight want they can do with your info, if I can find out about my family it is worth it to me to get these feelings of not belonging anywhere, I know in my heart that I am somebody but this flesh keeps pushing feelings out.
Check hospital using 1951 birthday
Good morning Imelda, I have checked them all did that years ago.
You’re very African influenced I would just claim black, where I’m from if your about 80% polynesian you’re pretty much full polynesian. That’s how I see things, some go out of there way and say there “very mixed” lol
Thank you my friend!
1 year younger than me.
We are blessed to reach our ages and still moving.
I found out that my great grandfather was another man. I found out my last name isn't my real last name. I found it strange u never heard of this before. The same thing happened. An affair with a married man.
I lived very tight life, I couldn't go places, not to go out of the yard, and on, so a lot I didn't or know to ask, so that held me back and trust was gone crazy, I just want to know my story.
Could you have been born at home? Perhaps that's why you can't find a birth certificate. Your birth may not have been recorded.
Thank you, but I meet my biological father before he died and he was with my mother then and he told me I was born at John Hopkins in Md on my birthdate and he tried to help me get my birth certificate and it didn't work for him.
@@BeverlyBlack Have you gone to the county in which you were born? The records for birth are stored in there.
that was fascinating Beverly
We will make a English lady of you yet
Hello my friend, I am on my way, enjoying this journey.
So you met your great grandmother but not your mother. Pretty interesting.
Yes I did, when she ran away, she left her family behind and did not get in touch with them.
@@BeverlyBlack so she didn't just abandon you, she abandon the whole family.
You only get 1 mitochondrial dna ( ethnicity) it's your female line and it matches everybody else in your ethnic group.
Your chromosomes is your family trees of your parents and body makeup, not ethnic
Thank you I did not know that!
@@BeverlyBlack extant
Exactly, folks is lying to people making then think their ancestry is ethnic,no its not.
You'll find your mother and ethnic group through your mitochondrial dna, only mothers pass it off.
The 1% Indigenous-Mexican is from the Indian Grandma you say you have but as a percent is very low. But is Native American is the word from the (American Continent) no only United State of America as a Country.
I thought the per cent was low, but I was glad to find out the info.
@@BeverlyBlack It's low, which just means that the last "full blooded Native American" was probably 6-8 generations ago. It still shows you did have Native ancestry. Congrats on your video and good luck with your research. I am currently still working on my family as well, including my 3rd great-grand-mom, born in 1845!
@@johnsonzz-jw3oz you are coming along very good, we are going to do this thing!
@@BeverlyBlack Yes we are! I actually have gone back to the late 1790's on my later maternal grandmother's father lineage. She was pretty good at keeping the family information passed down. :)
@@johnsonzz-jw3oz that is awesome! I am in the 1800’s, getting close.
Moo la tau
Thank you for watching.
You are awfully young not to have a birth certificate. You are my mom's age.
Thank you for calling me young lol, 69 and I am blessed, people have been so helpful to me on this journey.
True story: two of my cousins never could enroll in school because their mother had their birth certificates. Their births had never been registered and when she disappeared they didn’t exist. Family taught them how to read and write. Their mother married a white man and abandoned them. She tried to get the youngest one because she looked like her but she refused to leave her sister. They had different fathers so the older one was brown with coarse hair and the younger was light with light eyes and straight hair like her mother. This happened in MY family and both cousins are in their mid 60s!!!
What it means is mule. And ma’am you not that. You’re a typical black american. Most who are in fact of mixed race have no desire to be called such. Nameste
You got that right, it really upset me when I first realize that is what it meant, but God knows the truth, it is so sad how you can be treated because of the color of your skin, but all of our blood is red.
Mulato is a spanish word.for 1 black 1 white parent
Really it translate yo mule not very nice so some find that word offansive . Most african americans have betwwen 5to 25% europen Many whites who have ancestors gong back to become 1800 have some black in them as well.
Thank you very much.
You are not mulotto
