A new blog has appeared online, and it’s called Freeman Genealogy.
The blog is devoted to sharing family stories,
genealogical research, and the heritage of Native American Freeman families
throughout the United States. It brings together history, documentation, and
DNA evidence to tell those stories clearly and carefully.
These Freeman families-once distant and
unconnected-were linked through Y-DNA testing at Family Tree DNA. The DNA
results revealed shared paternal lines that traditional records alone had not
shown.
Displayed below are the Y-DNA haplogroup badges
for the Dennis/Freeman men in my family, which would include my grandfather. These
results reshaped how we understand our ancestry.
What we once believed to be Irish is no longer our story. We now know we are descendants of Native American men who carried the Freeman surname-and we are proud of that heritage.
