[@Royalty_I_AM]

I would love to speak to someone from the Piscataway Tribe

[@mistersmooth79]

I'm a direct descendant of Mary Kittamaquund through her son, Giles Brent Jr, down to his great-grandson, William Brent who married Eleanor Carroll.

Was that on your mother's sister's father's side?

[@Royalty_I_AM]

Wow! Can we talk?
I would LOVE to learn. Also, how can I find my roots?

All the intervieweds were black not Indian😂

[@axi271]

You are too hilarious! Indians are neither white or black. Europeans came over and told these people they enslaved that their skin is black and they were Africans.
