my roots starts in this country in 1802 with a man that was sold upriver for a keg of iron nails,his name was Psalms. What tribe he was from we never heard any family stories about except that he might have been a freeman stolen from Boston

YOu ever found more info about him? Like knowing more about his family?

Sounds like the beginning of a rather interesting story.... Wonder how he found out the being sold upriver 4 can of nails part.......
Always wanted to do that new genetic typing thing, where they can locate generally- what area of Africa u 'came' from....... -

old folks in my family rarely talked about slavery except to mention he was born free and kidnapped in his youth Slavery was not a polite subject to be discussed,it was a subject that had and sometimes is talked around

Must have given you mixed feelings when they first opened the story to you, I bet.

How many other races have gone through the experience we've had here and survived? NONE
