Anyone Trace their Lineage back to a White Man?

[Monsanto]

I've been doing some digging and like a lot of Jamaicans, we have have Irish, English or German last names.

Found the picture of my white ancestor who married my 8x grandmother and had a family over there. Then he bounced and went back to Ireland. He was apparently fighting to abolish slavery holdings. And sent money back to his family in Jamaica.

I knew I wasn't 100% when my mom told me what her dad was mixed with but now I have to look for what that was.

Always wanted to ditch the last name I have before, this solidifies it even more.

I know for sure my great great on my pops side was a white man from Spain who settled in Puerto Rico in the 1880s.

My great grandmother was a white woman. Grandma told me about her last week. She was a racist. Hated when my mama and my uncle “turned” or became darker as babies.

No actually, we were fortunate that a lot of records were kept in Jamaica like birth certificates, marriage licenses and wills. One of my uncles was deep into the family history and he organized a lot of the info for us, unfortunately he passed before I ever met him.

He even had a family reunion in England with all of the mixed, black and white people of our family 5 years ago. I have the pictures and family tree.

And the original house coat of arms. It's a shame how some in our family will point to the white man as our reference for being leaders.
