Tracing My Biological Ancestral Roots from the Illegitimate to the Legitimate (Volume 3): Memorializing the Dearly Departed and Honouring the Living
Synopsis "Tracing My Biological Ancestral Roots from the Illegitimate to the Legitimate (Volume 3): Memorializing the Dearly Departed and Honouring the Living"
Unsure of who you are and what stock you came from biologically? Too scared of what you might discover if you dive into the dark secret world of ancestry tracing? Well, I took the plunge using the Mormon's FamilySearch.org to dig up untold of birth, marriage, travel, and death records and DNA testing to solve the mysteries of my bloodline. I did - spit, spat, and swabbed - three times using genealogy websites: 23andMe to search for my paternal lineage, Ancestry to treasure-hunt for my maternal legacy, and MyHeritage to seek out my foreign biological birthright. Learn vicariously, through me and my DNA detective-sleuthing work, what was revealed and what wasn't. I have now written 20 books on various genres: arts, music, biographies, academics, poetry, and short stories - but this one's different - I was soccer-punched, kicked to the curb, and almost died as I interacted with living things in the biosphere, as I toiled the mountains and the lowlands of the lithosphere, the murky twist and turns via the deep-blue Caribbean sea and the vast Atlantic and Pacific oceans of the hydrosphere, flew into and almost disappeared into the thin air of the atmosphere as I travailed the Geographic Sphere! Find out if I am among the illegitimate or legitimate contenders. Yes, there is dissension - see how the ensuing battle royal unfold right in front of your own eyes. Who married, then separated, deserted, or divorced whom? What entanglements and traps did the spider weave and who was caught in its web? Where in the world did the ancestors run and hide out the storm that brewed? When did they arrive from or migrated to Africa, Jamaica, Cuba, Suriname or wherever around the globe? What were my biological ancestors' ethnicities? Dutch, Creole, Maroons, Indigenous peoples? Follow me as I rummage through old photographs and other relics. How did my ancestors and their descendants live and how did they die? What languages did they speak? Why was there child abandonment, bigamous deceit, resentment from sibling rivalry and genetic cousins, disownership of parent, and whistleblowing? Which generation won and which lost? Did my brick wall crumble and fall or is it still standing erect? Were the results of my ancestral quest and what I unearthed biologically fruitful on my family tree? Read inside the pages of all three volumes and companions to discover the riveting escapades of my tryst and its up's and down's, in's and out's, and facts and legends...geneagogically.
