Interesting article regarding tracing slave ancestry in the US

Question

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/history/2016/09/georgetown_reparations_how_do_descendants_of_slaves_find_their_ancestors.html

 I am so glad to see the records of African American ancestry finally being taken seriously. As a descendant of convicts brought to Australia in the 19th C, I have had, at least, the benefit of the meticulously kept records of the British system. It is about time that as many records as possible involving the ancestry of the millions of Americans be digitised and made available.

Hi Susan ~

Is that a politically correct correlation?  

I'm just teasing you :)

I am sorry.  I didn't mean to post that as an answer.

Not a problem, Mary. I am a polite person, but never politically correct. LOLOL

I'm usually well mannered also, but I get silly when I go too long w/out sleep.

I don't need an excuse to get silly. LOLOL (Six generations of performers!)
