S03 E02: Gullah Geechee Genealogy with Althea Sumpter

Описание: In this episode, we spoke with researcher Althea Sumpter, who comes from the Gullah community in South Carolina about some of the basics when it comes to researching Gullah Geechee ancestry.

We spend some time discussing Gullah culture and history. We also touch on Gullah African admixtures - something to look out for in your DNA results.

We also chat about names in your family tree that might indicate Gulla Geechee ancestry:
