I have been researching my family history/genealogy for almost 20 years. However, it wasn’t until 2010 that I began to research my family history in depth using a combination of traditional genealogy as well as genetic genealogy. I have been able to trace several of my maternal mixed-race lines back to colonial New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The ethnic admixture of these lines is a mix of West African, Malagasy, Native American and European people and represent some of the earliest settlers in this country along with Native Americans who have always been here. It has always been my goal to document my family history the way it was experienced by my ancestors. My research specialties include both African-American and Puerto Rican Genealogy in general, Slavery and Free Blacks in the Northeast, the Afro-Dutch Cultural Legacy in NY and NJ, the NY-Madagascar Slave Trade in the Late 1600-Early 1700s, the Historical Importance of Native and African American Burial Grounds, the maritime trade (1627-1900 )as it relates to Indigenous and African people, as well as Genetic Genealogy.

I have Bachelors Degrees in Anthropology and Asian Studies from Bowdoin College and previously worked as an adjunct professor in Cultural Anthropology while attending CUNY Graduate School and University Center’s doctoral program in Anthropology. My background in cultural anthropology has helped me research my ancestral roots. I started my blog to share my genealogy research on both my maternal mixed race African-American side as well as my Puerto Rican paternal side.

I am a proud member of both the NJ and NY Chapters of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAGHS) and a former BlackProGen LIVE!  panelist. I am also the co-administrator of FamilyTree DNA’s Malagasy Roots Project along with CeCe Moore of PBS’s Finding Your Roots since 2014. For almost thirty years, I have given talks at public libraries in the Greater NY/NJ/CT area as well as local genealogy groups and have worked with past and present Rutgers University professors (i.e., Professor Emeritus Junius Wilson, now City of Newark Historian, professor Anita Bakshi, and Professor Jack Tchen). In addition, I work with multiple public history projects like The Witness Stones Project (https://witnessstonesproject.org/), Finding Ceremony (https://findingceremony.com/), Our Land, Our Stories (https://our-land-our-stories.libraries.rutgers.edu/) and The Public History Project (https://www.publichistoryproject.org/).
