I have a family whose father was born in PA. the mother was born in the Philippines. the father is listed as white for color and race. the mother and all children are listed what appears to be "neg" or "nig" it clearly does not look like the "W" written for white. I can assume it means nigro. I am doing this research for a friend. he has told me that his mother and grandmother were always dark complected due to being born in the Philippines. Family lore says that they had crosses burnt on their front lawns. would this type of story be written up in newspapers? thank you Sharon
