I went on to study graduate-level American-History. I presented research on a national level about my Italian family. I also studied Organizational Learning and Performance and have done extensive trainings on various mental health topics.
I am a published author through the publisher Seeking Safety. In 2023, I coauthored a book: Archway Cookies: A Taste of 20th Century Americana which is available on Amazon, Bookbaby Bookshop, Barnes and Nobles, Abe Books, Walmart, etc. Part of my research for the book included a genealogy of and of Harold Arthur Swanson 1904 - 1954 and Ruth Martin founders of the Archway Cookie Company.
There is no indication that my African ancestors came from the South. Likely, they escaped from NY or New England and went to Canada in the late 1700's
My African Ancestors were taken from Mali, Africa and married into my Palmer family- Rowley, MA > NY>MI.
My other African Ancestors were taken from Benin & Togo, Africa. We estimate that they most probably were brought to the USA about 1750. I am still looking for them:
She doesn't appear on a census until 1870 when she was working in Sebra Rathbun household, but no direct DNA to his immediate family. She married Wm Smith who also worked for Sebra Rathbun. Her census records indicate that she was illiterate. This seems odd for being raised in Michigan or coming from Western NY.
They lived in Allegan County, MI.

I just noticed a change that you added to. This profile back in 2020: Babcock-2692 Do you remember why you added “Aka Stanley” to her name? I have no knowledge of this name being associated with Ama Babcock in any way. Thanks! Kirstie
This is Chris from the Italy Project. As part of the annual project check-in, can you fill in the project survey? This will let us know that you are still interested in the project and which teams you'd like to participate in.
Thanks and have a great day!
