I just learned that I'm an offspring of an actual slave.
My best friend has the same last name as my mom's maiden name was. My best friend's family is crazy thoroughly researched because her dad and his siblings are very into all that. We've known for some years now that my mom and her dad are third cousins.
Now, there was an article about the Great Northern War in the paper and it mentioned the slaves that were taken from here to Russia during the war and how after the war some were able to return. I mentioned the article and my friend was like, "oh, yeah, one of our ancestors is one of the people who managed to return from slavery".
Huh. Did not know that.
