Black-Dutch-America-L@rootsweb

This is a list for any that claim Black Dutch ancestry. We have found that most who claim it, have Native American or African American ancestry. It also appears to have been a cover for their heritage, at a time when alot of Native Americans and African American slaves were hiding from persecution. Some chose not to walk the "Trail of Tears", and hid in the mountains. Many
different cultures claim this title, and probably are. The only thing that we dispute, with other Black Dutch list is, that it did not originate in Germany.

Black- Irish-L@rootsweb

he Black-Irish list is somewhat a cousin to Black- Dutch. Only difference is that it was mainly African Americans who hid behind these words. Keeping in mind that, Native Indians and African Americans were both held in slavery, they both share this title as well.Again, most who claim it, have mixed heritage. [Please note this means Negro not the "Black Irish" who are white with black hair.]

Mixed-Marriages-L@rootsweb

This list is for anyone involved or related to a mixed- marriage.

Grannys-NA-PANTRY-L@rootsweb

This list is for anyone who just wants to talk about culture, recipes, craftwork,dance, or anything pertaining to Native American or African American heritage. This is truly a place to just kick back and shoot the breeze.
