I have Polynesian DNA as well, which made me start researching where it came from. It must from my dad's side of the family. The Europeans purchased war captives in Madagascar and Mozambique and transported them to the Americas.

That is pretty interesting. :ehh: Madagascar is a dope place. I'd be more than happy to have some roots there.

It must from my dad's side of the family, which makes sense because a lot of the Malagasy seem to have been taken to the Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Virginia, etc). The Europeans purchased war captives in Madagascar and Mozambique and transported them to the Americas.

I missed the conclusion of this. Did we ever find out if Blackpearl needs to change her name? :jbhmm:
