Thank you so much for sharing your family's stories, geneology, and educating others about the Slave Name Roll Project. I wanted to share some good news with you -- Peter G. Evan's daughter was Elizabeth Johnston Evans -- a philanthropist who was celebrated in NC & AL. <br /><br />"In Charlotte, she was instrumental in the establishment of a hospital for blacks. She became interested in the religious instruction of the prisoners after attending a sunday sermon at a local coal mine. The plight of the younger convicts engaged her particular attention, and she conceived the idea of establishing a boys' training school for youthful offenders. Through her untiring efforts, a bill was passed by the Alabama legislature and the Alabama Boy's Industrial School was opened on 21 June 1900. It was said to be the first altruistic state institution of its kind, welcomed all races, and was unusual in that the board of managers was to be composed entirely of women. Under Mrs. Johnson's interest and guidance the school prospered, and for the rest of her life she was chairman of the board of managers. Her success with the training school was noted in her native state of North Carolina, which invited her to address the legislature on how it might establish a similar institution. In 1922 she was awarded a silver loving cup by the Birmingham News for her philanthropy."MissEagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077005584292039226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454603795410144652.post-6000704137030042932021-07-14T10:48:53.122-07:002021-07-14T10:48:53.122-07:00My wife is also L3e3b as determined by 23 and me. ...My wife is also L3e3b as determined by 23 and me. We did not tell them anything even though we know some certain things. Her results came back 100 percent Nigerian. She is actually from Biafra in Nigeria. Her family historically was a lost tribe of Israel. Until the war they only celebrated the Jewish holidays and traditions. After the war ended in the late 1960s the Christian missionaries arrived and converted them all to Christianity. Her family were the local kings so ancient stories told that they once lived in Ethiopia. We cannot confirm that yet other than oral history. I’ve seen some L3e3b from Sierra Leone but that was an open city and slaves would be brought there from their homes in other places for those purposes. 23 and me does a very poor job of identifying Jewish ancestry from Africa.
