Anyway, AKA_Monet, we have similar familial histories, except..and no offense, for all maybe a few things like the kids from different men, etc. My great grandad (white) married my great grandma (black) in Georgia before it was legal but somehow they made it.
That's interesting how things can be so similar, but I guess a lot if us have closely related family backgrounds, especially if you're from the south.

No offense taken... My mother's mother--my grandmother--had a few issues with men... It was unfortunate, but that was the way her life was at the time...
As far as my father's side... The women were young--like 12-14 when men took "care" of them. But back in that day, no woman had control of her body... That is just the reality of the situation...
That's interesting about your great-grandfather though... It would be nice to actually see the documentation... I bet he was probably disowned by his own family because of his love... Too bad... Because his own family missed out... IMHO...
But the South is truly the South in the United States of America...
