Mother side - She was born in Belle Glade, Florida but my great grandmother people are from Georgia (around Thomson, GA area)

Father side- Born in Arkansas but traces back to Monroe, Louisiana. I think his side started in Louisiana (found some information that we trace back to Fairbanks Plantation) and we have a shytload of cousins in Monroe that we never met. But he has an older cousin in his 80s that says we started in Alabama.

Yep all my maternal grandmother's sisters and a lot of their children still there. My great grandfather was a Native American man () from Natchez and my great grandmother was a mixed woman () from Jackson and they settled in Clarksdale.

Any Bowman or Bakers in your family?

Bessemer is such a small and rural town, I'm sure we are 4th or 5th cousins or something
