Just think of it in this way... In a way, these people could be part of your family -- "adopted" family, in a way. :-)<BR/><BR/>The "trepidation" you speak of is in some ways similar to that which those of us who have been through adoption reunions have felt. It's normal. Hopefully, it will all work out.Sarah Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165906925703092225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12672109.post-1129234681221929642005-10-13T13:18:00.000-07:002005-10-13T13:18:00.000-07:00Angevoix-Your words are very kind.

Two years ago, ...Hello and thanks for stopping by. Two years ago, I actually found the website of the family who owned my ancestors in North Carolina. I think that it's great that you are trying to visit that part of you. I feel that it would do a lot of good for you and those that you come in contact with. It is my belief that most Black people would be relieved that not all descendants of slave owners agree with what their ancestors took part in. Anyway, I left a post on their website and this is what it read:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Stephen Bess Tuesday, 12/23/03, 8:07 AM <BR/> <BR/> Happy holidays!! I am a descendant of Ezekiel Roberson who was a slave on the Cross Roads plantation. I feel that your website is really important because it gives me a sense of connection to my ancestors in Martin County, NC. I am fortunate because there are many African-Americans in this country who have no idea what land their ancestors worked and tilled. My grandmother Eunice Roberson Best grew up in Robersonville and she taught me all that I know about that area and our family. She joined our ancestors in April of 1999. Her memory will live on forever along with the memory of those who preceded her. <BR/> <BR/> From: Washington, D.C.Stephen A.
