Sweden?

Yes interesting fact of the day. My mothers fathers side, The Bankstons, originally came from SWEDEN. Pretty interesting stuff huh? They moved from there to Penn. To Arkansas, Mississippi, Tenn. and Texas. There are also records of names and signing agreements with some slaves they had, I hadn't seen it so I am kind of interested to see what is on there. Is there actually the word "slave" on there.

So now you got one side of the family from Spain and Sweden. The Swedes owned the slaves, and the other side of my family, The Lefort, from France, were the slaves. Crazy. How is that for coming around in full circle? I bet alot of peoples family is like that and they dont even know it. But its pretty cool to see your family go back to the 1700's on paper. We are still researching and by no means stuck. GO ADELL!

FYI matching specialist meeting Tuesday at 10 am. YAY!
