Rachel
Dolezal has recently stirred up a controversy concerning he ancestry. She
resigned Monday as head of her local NAACP chapter after reports surfaced that
she was born white yet has claimed she is black. If you are not familiar with
this recent news story that has been on all the news networks, start at https://goo.gl/QykhVSto
find a few hundred reports about her recent controversy. Now a professional
genealogist says that Dolezal's claim is bogus.
Professional genealogist Elizabeth Banas has
researched Dolezal's ancestry back to 1671 and found that her family were
entirely white, including some who were Mormons. Archives show that Rachel’s
ancestors came to the US from Europe and have no bloodlines linking them to
slaves or to Africa. Even a great grandmother who has almost identical features
to Rachel was identified as white in two census documents.
Of course, there is
always a possibility of an adoption that cannot be found in official records or
that a baby was switched with another at birth. However, Dolezal's parents
claim that is impossible. They say Dolezal was born at home and spent her
entire childhood living with her biological parents.
