John Drinkard, Sr. and Victoria Hansom's American Family
To My Family:
I began this research because it is important to document my triumphant American family. It is my hope that the generations who follow will learn from our past, continue to respect the roots of our family tree, and will actively nurture the branches that link us, for we are only as strong as our weakest.
My research continues beyond what you read here today, for my goal is to identify, if possible, the exact location in which our relatives were taken from the continent of Africa, and the people and places they interacted with in the Continental U.S. This project is not a singular effort, for cousins supplied names, birth dates, and photographs of past and present family members.
Special contributions were made by a multitude of Drinkard cousins, including: Mary Dixon-Rinehart, Ramona Gomez, Kevin Miles, Sameerah Drinkard, Deirdra Richardson, Marshall Drinkard, Angela Byam, Frank Miles, and Robina Webb.
All are welcome to add on to our family narrative by submitting photographs, documents, and stories to [email protected]
Thank you all!
