Does anyone have links to good discussion about using anachronistic terminology within medieval studies? I’m being potentially challenged on using early medieval Ireland/Scotland/England but honestly any other terminology at this stage is too general for me. #MedievalTwitter
I understand, thank you for sharing and also your interest in the subject. It is definitely easier to research white ancestors. I have mine traced back too, pretty far. But I have an ancestor, James Due, who was as far as I know, was a free Black man from New Hampshire.

But I have no birth record, I know very little about him past census records. My white family has loads of info. Problem is that researching this stuff is hard because it can be expensive, with contradictory info everywhere.

But I think writing stuff down, what you hear from your parents/grandparents/uncles/aunts is a good start if you can.
