Allen, I think the fact that each of us may have relatives of a different race may be coming to the fore front more and more. On 60 minutes tonight a segment was on DNA and the two individuals that found each other as cousins were; a female from Harlem, New York and a rancher from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. They share a male grandfather, some place along the way. She had used the DNA of one of her first cousins.
I would not be at all surprised to find I have cousins of another race. All of my roots are basically from the south. This would not bother me but I have cousins it might bother. Thank goodness we do not have to enter race in our genealogy information. Another interesting piece of information from that segment was; if we go back 8 generations we will have 256 grandparents.
