How can I find out what I am?

I know I'm african american but I want to know what generation I am and what else I may have in me like indian or something and I need links to websites that may help me and I want a website that I don't have to pay for. Please don't give me a link to www.ancestry.com because I have tried it before.



My mother has a degree in genealogy. She spent 13 years looking up our family. My best advice to you, being African American, is to start birth and death records ( your public library, or census beurea ) to find out where each person was born. Start with your parents and work your way back. Only do one side at a time. As you dig farther back some records may not be available, depending on how far you go. Pay attention to name changes, weddings, births, etc. That should get you started. Being African American, it will get harder the farther back you go. Use surname websites (last name) to see the history of the family name as a whole. Not individual people. Please ask your librarian for help.




THe first thing you need to do is ask your relatives, and then if that didn't/doesn't help, you can go to google and type in the origin of your last name or whatever little peice of info. you get from family.




Ask family members on both sides or anyone that knows anything about you. Start with that.




Ask your parents. THEY should know.

Girls, a little help on this one?

Okay well girls seem to date me just to be dirty with me or have sex,all they go out with me is(I don't Wanna be arrogant)because they say I look hot and things like that. Some of the girls I have dated say that I am really nice and I have a cool personality, but I don't know...I'm dating this girl and I love her and she has said she loves me and were really affectionate together and we might have sex soon but I'm not sure if she is another girl like the rest or a girl that really wants a relationship?and if It helps we have alot in common oh and we agreed on to have sex but she has lately become more aroused weere together



Well, no girl can resist a good-looking guy--especially when he has the whole package (personality, brains, manners, etc.).





She sounds like a pretty good girl. Even though she's starting to get aroused when you're together, that just means she's connecting with you; emotionally AND physically.





Don't be afraid to take the next step with her. Just be passionate with her to show her that she's not just another girl. When you focus on her, she feels wanted & desired. After a good night with you; she won't be able to turn back & you'll have won her heart.





Good luck, bud!! Hope I helped!




well, some girls are kinda bad there but not all girls are like that. if you think that this girl could really like you then talk to her about how other girls played you and how you don't want this relationship to be the same way. If she truly cares, she will reasure you of her feelings. As for her getting "aroused", it might be her playful way of showing you that shes up to having sex. hope this helps!




girls have this same problem, I would suggest you hold off on the sex for awhile and really get to know this person. I dont know how old you are or anything, but like the saying goes only time will tell. Sex is not the most important thing in a relationship, it should be something that happens when two people love each other and love takes time.


good luck to you!




wait awhile if you have doubts that she's not into you for the right stuff. it's not a bad thing to wait to have sex until you know for sure if she's there for more than just that.




After you do her for awhile her real personality will come out. That's when you need to decide. Always use protection.




If she really likes you then she'll wait on the sex thing if you make her...then you'll know if she's only after one thing or not




First of all, you don't need to have sex. WAIT til marriage. Go out with her and love her. After time and you are the right age and school behind you - then think about engagement.





How can you have respect for someone who has been "doing it" with others. It seems today that finding a girl who has not done it is very hard to find and Viceversa. But you will feel more special if for the first time together that you know that she has not done it with anyone else and she will feel that way with you.





Once you "do it" you lose respect for yourself and the person you are doing it to. AND how do you know they are not just using you for the "act". Be special!





Build on the relationship that you have. Really get to know each other and love each other. Love is a great thing and does not hurt i.e. cheating on each other, using someone, etc.





Waiting til wedding day is the best rout to go. You will feel very good about yourself and her.
ok..... me and a bunch of friends are going to the movies this weekend,,,and one of the ppl r going, is a girl that i like. they weird thing is....she likes it when guys dont treat her really nice..so basicly treat her like **** my friends said..iuno if im the kind of person that can be like that,,,,what do i do!?!?



If you pretend to be something you aren't, then what do you gain by having her like you? After all, she won't actually like *you* but the person you're pretending to be.





Be yourself. Act the way you always act. If she likes that, great! If not, she isn't the one for you anyway.




okay this girl is weird. If she doesn't like the way you are don't change for a person just because you like her. Be yourself and show her your true feelings. Maybe she'll end up liking you and a lot.




Trust me she will get hurt by these so called bad guys and then she will realise that that nice bot who liked her could have treated her right. Don't be that type of person, be yourself!




Dont do it


dont change yourself to be liked by others!





be yourself and if she dont like that its her problem


have fun




They're right treat her like a gentleman and if she doesn't like it than leave it at that

Is Junior Prom a big deal?

Hi, Im in high school & of course there is prom coming up !





I'm probably not going to go . I just don't think they are a big deal . I don't have a date & all my friends will have dates. I'll feel really awkward ..especially during slow dances..& I don't think there's a point of spending all that money when I'll probably end up regretting it & feeling stupid.





Of course there's a guy I really would love to go with but I don't think he'd ask me in 129309403294 years.





So.. what should I do ? Go or not ? My friend won't stop bugging me about it ( she has a date though).





Thanks !



Junior Prom is to enjoy your young life! How about you ask out that guy you like. Girls can ask out guys too! I've seen a lot of girl on Yahoo say that they would ask out a guy they like. I think you should go. Just enjoy time with your friends and dance with someone during a slow dance. Even as friends. Actually if yo don't go you'll probably regret that you didn't go. Prom is a time where you can just enjoy life. Go! and ask someone out to Prom if you're up to it.




....ask him. It's no big deal, But you should go

What would you do if the girl you are dating?

What would you do if you found out that the girl you are dating or the girl you are engaged was born a man.



if she was born a man then she is still a man and that would make you gay.




That is definitely big news. Something like that would bother me, although many people can look past something like that. obviously if you didn't know until now, it's not that apparent. I'd be more concerned with the secret part of it. did they tell you or did you find out somewhere else. You will need some time to digest this and sort out your feelings on it, but if it feels okay to you it shouldn't matter who they were, it's who they are now that you love.




That's a tough question. I guess it depends how you feel about that sort of surgery. Personally, I'm pretty sure that she should have told you before the point of getting engaged. That's a big truth to hold back on.





Basically you're dating a man, but with woman parts. How do you feel about that?




Omg, that's gross.





I'd dump this person.





I'd find it super disturbing that they didn't tell me in the first place. It kinda would make me wonder what else this person in hiding and how much I could trust them.





And think of it this way...


You'd be dating a guy who has sexuality issues.


And a creeper.




Run! She was born a man and that is kinda gay. I mean if you can get over it and accept the new he(r) then you are a bigger person than I am.




It depends on you if you love her or him then you probably need to stay with her/him. But if you not gay then you need to leave him/her.




LOL that would be weird..


but surgery is very advanced nowadays, so you shouldn't encounter too many problems. :D




I'd be indifferent.


I love for the personality, not the gender.




What the hell, then that is insane for a man to get married to another man. Gays?????




id be shocked, ask y didnt u tell me before, accept them for who they are and let it blow over but nothing we be the same again :(




Ahhhhhhhhh! Well if I were a man, that's what I would do.




I would get freaked out...come on your going to marry a man!




I would do "her" up the butt :).




.....id move to like another state

How can i get my parents to get me a cell hone (or at least pay for half?)?

i will not beg ( not that 'kinda girl), i am willing to pay half and give up half of my allowance a month.



you can't


In case you don't know the country is in a recession.


Be Thankful for what you have, including a roof over your head.





Sorry..




Have you tried just asking? I you are trust worthy and responsible they should have a problem with it. I the mom of a teen, and she has rules about her phone and as long as she sticks to them she can have it.




Why do you want a cellphone? Assuming you have good reasons, list them out and tell them to your parents and ask.





You can also do some of the research into phones for yourself. Figure out what you need (and realistically what you want) and exactly how much it'll cost a month. Doing all the research will help show your parents you are responsible and could help convince them to get you one. (I'd advise looking into some of the prepaid services as then there won't be any surprise bills at the end of the month).

How does a married guy break up with a secret, married Emotional Friend because he

I've never had full-on sex with the EF, so please no judgment.



Hmmm, that is a tough question...The thing of it is, its an EF...so, although ethically some may say its an affair none the less, some may perceive it as not an affair...If your truly concerned about her "emotions", the best way is to slowly back away...gradually so to speak so that she can kinda see the divide occuring yet its not a cold turkey feeling...eventually you just flat out stop all contact with her. EF's are tricky...Emotions run deeply, and your really cannot expect to be able to break things off and NOT hurt her, either way, your going to crush her...just being honest, not judgmental...BUT, you have to do what you have to do...There are no hard fast rules on this kind of thing...Sometimes people come into our lives for a time or a season, and then for whatever reason they are not there any longer. We all move forward and beyond. Its just the cycle of life. Hope it helps. Take care.




If you want to cut the ties with her completely, then it might be best to be as honest as you can with her. You could soften it a little by telling her your work and family life are consuming more of your time, especially if you want to keep her as a friend, but just cut back on some of the time together. I don't know what kind of person she is as to whether or not you should tell her you feel you're wanting too much from the relationship and you're afraid where it might lead. That might not work, as she may welcome the idea.




Why would a married guy be worried about breaking up with one emotional friend because he prefers another?





Not judging--just really want to know what you're worried about? That she might tell your wife of other EF? She cant seriously believe you two are a true item, and if she does---you havent been 'honest' with her.


Affairs of the heart are just miserable and why would you do that if you weren't having sex. Gee whiz, that's too much work, pal!




Avoid the grief, introduce her to someone new to take your place. Tell her you have to go to Iraq, or China, or your new EF's place. Tell her you've decided to become a raging drunk, a drug addict, a porn star (oops, better not use that one), or enter the priesthood.





Tell your EF you have ED and it requires medical treatment in Egypt.





or you could just be honest and say good bye




Honesty is the best policy, you'll always be respected for it!!!




just cut her off and move on,, there is nothing wrong with moving on


tell her that it is you not her




don't break up with her, just cheat on her.




Can't you make it "bleed it to death" ??





I mean lower your level of attention until she gets it?




gentle ha do like some guys i know the dissapearing act, like run away,,
