I love learning about family history. Both sides are from the Caribbean, but working with my great uncle I’ve learned that my paternal side has African ancestry from Angola, Ghana, Sierra Leone and European ancestry from Wales, Scotland, England and Sweden.

I don’t know much about my mom’s side, except that in addition to African heritage, we have Irish, Kalinago (Carib) Indian, Danish and possibly Argentinian heritage. No one has done much research on my mom’s side yet though – I hope to do some traveling and stuff when I get out of college and hit up some archives. Being a anthro major, all of this is very fascinating to me.
