Genealogy brings descendants of slaveowner, slave together

Genealogy brings descendants of slaveowner, slave together - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee: "For 21 years Sacramento genealogist Karen Burney – the descendant of slaves, American Indians and a Revolutionary War hero – has been tracing her roots back to Africa.
'They're lost family heroes,' Burney says of the slaves who helped build this nation and survived so that she and millions of other African Americans would someday taste freedom.

Burney celebrated America's birthday by finally meeting the great-great-grandson of Louisiana planter Henry Marshall, a founder of the Confederacy who owned Burney's ancestors."
