Question: If my brothers DNA doesn't show a black heritage, could we still have a history of that race from the maternal side of the family? I need to know. I went in to Ancestry and the 1870 census searching for my grandfather and found this 1 year old child listed. He was born in AL, colored, 1 y/o, 1870,County is Calhoun and the post office is White plains. I then viewed the image and this is what I found: Daniel Sissen is the head of the household, age 36 and b in SC. The wife is Sarah, age 36, b GA. Son is Sam age 13, b AL, lokks like Cnahey female age 6, b AL, Eliza age 4, b AL and Nathaniel age 1, b AL. I would like any information that is out there regarding this family. Elizabeth McGhee
