African Ancestored Genealogy
I like the inclusiveness of the term; it includes North America, South America; in fact the entire globe!
Another way of expressing this is the African Diaspora
From Wikipedia:
African diaspora; One of the largest diasporas of pre-modern times was the African Diaspora, which began at the beginning of the 16th century. During the Atlantic Slave Trade, twenty million people from West, West-Central and South-east Africa were transported to the Western Hemisphere as slaves.
This population and their descendants were major influences on the culture of English, French, Portuguese and Spanish New World colonies. The Arab slave trade also transported Africans from the continent, although the effect of the Diaspora to the east is more subtle.
It is my hope that you will participate in the discussions, contribute information, and basically get in where you fit in!

Albert,
That's okay, I have the 1900 census for Lenn, I was just hoping that he was in the 1910 and so on.

Willette:
First, I spoke in error...the misindex for Lenn was 1900, not 1910. I had found Bert Cammon in 1910. I did not check for them in later censuses. Also, Ancestry only allows me to save the images as JPGs (not PDF), which I have attached to my first post...can you not save the JPG's? If not, I can try emailing them to you.

Albert,
Where did you find Lenn on the 1910 census.

okay, are they in the 1920 census? could you send me the 1910 census as a pdf and the 1880 census withe Anthony's, if it's not to much trouble.
Thank you
Willette

You're welcome. All the info came from a couple of searches on Ancestry.com. Lenn was misindexed in 1910 as Loman and Lowmax, which is probably why you were not able to find them before.

Albert thank you,
Sam and Ann are really Florence's parents, this is great I have been looking for so long. Where did you find this info, I couldn't find Lenn in the 1910.
Thanks again

Willette:
I think that I deciphered the death certificate for you. Here is what I was able to find:
Husband Burt Cammon (b. 3 May 1898, Mississippi, d. 11 Dec 1958, San Joaquin, California)
Mother Florence (aka Florencia, Florinda) Anthony (b. 1872, Monroe County, Arkansas). Parents: Sam Anthony (b. 1832, Georgia), Ann (b. 1842, Georgia). Siblings: Lewis, Sam, Walter and Martha)
Father appears to be Lorenzo Lomax, but shows up in 1910 Census married to Florence as Lenn Lomax (b. Mar 1864, Mississippi)
Death certificate is indexed as Edrem Cammon (1896-1 Apr 1941)
Hope this helps.
