americans/canadians, when did your ancestors arrive in the americas? (reply if you know specifics please) ((i am just being nosy because i love you all and wanna swap juicy family lore))
definitely have a lot of ancestors who were in the civil war, and I think possibly the revolutionary war. But I do have one AfAm ancestor, but I know nothing about his parentage which makes me think he was an enslaved person, or his parents were. He lived in New Hampshire.

and his daughter, who was my ancestor too, she got into legal trouble for something but I can't recall what off the top of my head. But the two of them had a boarder who was an enslaved man who remembers being stolen from his home when he was a child, I think he was interviewed

about his childhood, I found something about it in a very old book ages ago.

that’s so heartbreaking, but you are here thriving and that’s a testament to him. my indigenous side seems to have also intermarried with west african folx, but we cannot trace specific people, only later clues from casta-related spanish docs.

I wish I knew more about him, but this is I think the story of many people's ancestors if they were enslaved, displaced, etc.
