<<I still wonder Where Cousin ROY'S Johnson Family Got into the act. CUZ A T <atpowelljr@aol.com> Easy. My father was Bob Johnson, my mother was Ena Pace. Family lore says our Johnsons are Swedish. Our brick wall is five generations back in East Kentucky. NOt many Swedes there, but there were Swedes in early New Jersey and Delaware who could have emigrated there. (It was the Swedes who taught us to build log cabins; the English used plank houses.) I did a 12 marker DNA and got no matches on the Johnson site. However, the tentative analysis said my ancestry is West African and I had two 11/12 matches in Senegal and Gambia. 12 markers does not provide a very accurate analysis but let's speculate a little. I did some research and found that there were free Africans living among the Swedes in early Delaware and New Jersey. If one of them sired a child by a Swedish woman, then that child melted into Swedish society, that African could be my ancestor. 6 generations of white intermarriage down to my great grandfather would wash out any sign of African ancestry. This is highly speculative and I intend later to get further testing done. Meantime I am having fun with my black friends telling them I am African- American. Human DNA worldwide differs only in minute ways. Two wolf packs on different sides of Mondana differ more in DNA than a blond Swede and a black African. Just goes to show that race is a myth. There is only one race--the human race. Roy
