Re: Negroid Blood
okay it would be hypocritical of me to make a poll and not make a selection, now wouldn't it. I chose, Not Sure - possibly. I have a greatgrandma who says we have slave-blood. Then again, that is also the greatgrandma who swears the vultures are after her.Oookiee dokiee...noooo comment. Then again her side is from Georgia aka Plantation Land...
ah the joys of being from The South (USA)

Re: Negroid Blood
Northwest Europeon blood here (Swede, German, Scotch, Norman with a family sirname found in Britian and Ireland).
BTW Elistariel, my family is an old line Southern one, having lived for hundreds of years in Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. I am from South Carolina so it's good to see a fellow Carolinian here!
Turman found a copy of The Graduate, and thought highly enough of the story that he made a movie he considered to be 90-percent faithful to the book.
But Turman and director Mike Nichols made one key adaptation, changing the Braddocks from WASP-y blonde characters into a dark-haired, more ethnic-looking family.

Re: Negroid Blood
Well, I can't say for sure but I very much doubt it.
I've done extensive genealogical research and studied many old census records in which 'Negroes' were noted and naught of this sort have I found. Of course there were those who 'passed' as whites when the census man came around but I still would be very surprised....
Re: Negroid Blood
I took the DNA print genomics test so I can say with 99.999999999999999% accuracy that I have zero Negroid infestation.
Re: Negroid Blood
I think I ran into a modern study soemwhere that stated well over 90% of Europeon American's had no trace of black African blood...the amount that did was tiny, a few percentage points, if that. From what I've read looking at primary sources, it just was not tolerated-and no, I do not consider the times where slaves were impregnated and the child stayed in the black community as tolerance; what we see now is largely a modern phenomena promoted the last three decades or so.

Re: Negroid Blood
I concur. I can't imagine a single person in my family having relations with a Negroid now let alone a 100 or 200 years ago. Of course, there weren't a whole lot of Negroes floating around Ireland & Norway 100-200 years ago so the opportunity probably never presented itself. I think those of us who are only 2nd & 3rd generation American have less to worry about in that respect.
