I started looking into my families genealogy a couple of years back, including that of my husbands. We learned that my husbands mother is African-American though he was never told and we found out after she had passed. We are now curious about African-American roots on my side of the family in the Merrill or Russell family trees.
Any information would be happily welcomed. Thank you!
