This Black genealogy book explores several mysteries, such as: who were her slave owner, her parents, and her siblings? Exactly where was she was born and where did she live during her years of bondage and liberty? Was she a cook, laundress, farm worker, or breeder? Margaret reveals many slave stories with gusto in this literary nonfiction black history book, helping us to imagine what is was like to be nearly thirty years a slave and fifty years a free businesswoman of color once she became part off the Ohio black history story. Can DNA testing bring her secrets to light? Marshall worked as a researcher, analyst, and technical writer at the California Highway Patrol for 36 years. She took a genealogy trip to Randolph County, West Virginia, in 2019 to uncover Margaret's secrets. Other published genealogy works by Kathy Lynne Marshall include: the double award-winning "Finding Otho: The Search for Our Enslaved Williams Ancestors" and the triple award-winning "Finding Daisy: From the Deep South to the Promised Land" and "The Ancestors Are Smiling!" in addition to several anthologies and journal submissions.

She is also exploring DNA and genetic analysis, along with traditional genealogy in an effort to determine her African American and European family lineage.More information is available at: ...
