Hi everyone:
My family probably had more secrets than the Pentagon. What
I do remember is that my grandmother saying we were 'Black Dutch', which I didn't have any clue what that term meant.
However, I did have one aunt and uncle who had more prominent black features, although I can't say as I really gave it much thought back then (that was in the 60's)
My aunt did say that she remembers having to get off the sidewalk when a 'white person' was walking on it (this was in North Carolina and I have no idea what city).
We lived in the Maryland/DC area and my Uncle lived in Georgetown but then moved to Virginia. I have no idea where my family originated from, but was told much later that my mother's family were Native American, proabably Saponi/Tuscarora......who knows.
I was told that I was Cherokee/Bird Clan, but that I would have to prove it.
I have some pictures of myself, children, a pic of my mom at 13 and maybe someone on the list might be able to recognize our relations through these pictures.
Here are some family names: Jackson, Cox, Money, Donaldson, Bolton, Otterback/Auterback?/Fields/Kidwell/Keller(Killer?), Henry
