I was just wanting to bring attention to the records as they don't line up with John's story or records on FamilySearch.
That's why I shared the project of the Africans in Amsterdam. We have the adopted family member in South Africa. I'm thinking another genetic pool of the same thing happening with them bringing them to Ireland and the mixed race children, or just full African children because we know thst usually goes hand in hand with the history of the enslavement issues. Ibe come across my own Grandmother saying she was mixed race and her parents came from Ireland but in another Census it says Maryland. That's connected to the smith line.
I'm trying to go on oral family history of Black Irish and Germans. The DNA Study for the Cactoctin Furnaces enslaved fits in with Irish,Africa,European data points in the UK. I have that DNA Study in the project.
I'm looking at the bigger picture. It takes time and evidence. Nothing we could figure out in a day or document. I'll have to look more into the history of human trafficking in Ireland during that period. We do know out of Dublin since around 11AD it was happening. I'm not ruling the story in or out yet, but the details are not jiving. I do know the Ashurst family enslaved 11 or so and they married to the Kennedy family. Ill have to look at DNA matches and Surname Study. Just thinking out loud.
