I am in the UK and go through the parish registers and quite a few times I have seen "mulatto" written against someone's name! Now I know what this means.<br /><br />I find your blog very interesting so I have nominated you for the Ancestor Approved Award. You can learn more about it at my blog So That's Where I Get It From (http://rootsresearcher.wordpress.com<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Christine (rootsresearcher)Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929593101581875350.post-75118493481111927772011-01-25T08:14:03.273-08:002011-01-25T08:14:03.273-08:00Happy Blogiversary Jennifer, looking forward to ma...Happy Blogiversary Jennifer, looking forward to many more!Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614538259404355973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929593101581875350.post-45379432644656851782011-01-23T06:12:04.540-08:002011-01-23T06:12:04.540-08:00I have found that too.

We were told about my maternal grandfather's family being part white so it was no surprise that as dark as my grandfather Fred was, he was called mulatto. I know nothing about Solomon's heritage except that the oral legend says his father was brought here from Africa. I know nothing about his mother though. This is my quest--to go past Solomon.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223296092716442571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929593101581875350.post-41100983565656104732011-01-23T05:36:34.813-08:002011-01-23T05:36:34.813-08:00What I've learned is it's the enumerator w...What I've learned is it's the enumerator who usually provides the racial designations of mulatto vs. black.
