Wow, my neighbors, Roy and Elvin Reid were in this video-special people and educators.

I am sending you these messages to help you and others who wonders why their relatives don’t care nothing about them, share messages with others who complains about their relatives don’t/never did/and doesnt care nothing about them; share these messages with others who complains about not being liked nor cared about by Relatives. This is the reasons these people end up murderers because they have nobody to show them Love, the way to Jesus, which makes them very bitter and hateful. Their parents or grandparents who unknowingly were/are orphans born before the 1940s ends up with no support systems nor networks, nor nobody to teach them something; that’s why they were so screwed up and can’t survive in Life and Life becomes so hard. Just like there’s mandatory physical/health checkups; There should be mandatory emotional check ups for children that starts/begins the school year: ask the children how do they feel, are they happy/sad, how do the relatives treat them, how do the neighbors treat them, is their any problems, what do you need, what is their favorite meal/do you get enough food to eat, do they brush their teeth, when do you bathe, who washes their clothes, who combs their hair, are you being treated nice, were you beat/whooped, etc. Since my mother at age 50 died in August, 1970 when I was 14, I didn’t get to know her, and my dad were drinking crown royal everyday faithfully, from age 54 up to three weeks before he died at 79 years old on sept 26, 1995. Me and my two younger brothers were on our on because we were never given instructions, rules, nobody checking upon us. So I had to be the parent to myself, my two brothers and my father too, he couldn’t read and write and who he thought were his father weren’t his dad and treated, him badly up until he left home at age 14 with no place to go; he had a hard time in Life and so did his children. It were very stressful growing up with these kind of parents..

in that Ancestry dna database trying to find out who were the parents, maternal and paternal grandparents of my deceased orphaned parents; my parents went to their graves not knowing that they were orphans, on a daily basis they complained about how bad the Relatives treated them, Relatives used them to get what they wanted and never cared about them nor their children. I didn’t expect to find those mean, nasty, dog ass relatives (matches) in Ancestry, if someone would of told me that they could of been possibly relatives, and my parents could be the results of some of their ‘men relatives’ stepping out on their wives then I would of hid (don’t put up picture nor use my real name nor make my tree and photos/pictures public but private instead), so that they won’t recognize me and then I would contact only the matches that I didn’t know and who don’t know the relatives that I previous know..

After slavery ex-slaves were marrying their own cousins, and didn’t know it. Black people still marrying their own cousins and don’t know it. We have 100 thousand or more cousins that we don’t know about and never, couldn’t imagine it. You have cousins spreaded out all through the world because of the transatlantic slave trade and rape of slaves causing slaves to have many siblings that they never met. I received the Ancestry dna results may 14,2019 and was shocked to find out all of this. In Every state, country, continent, island, sea island even in the Soviet, Middle east, India you have forth (4th) to tenth (10th) or more cousins in which you would never have imagined..

And they wonder why we are so f'd up as a people when they were breeding mothers with their sons, daughters with their fathers and brothers with their sisters and then selling the babies to different slaveowners. Once slavery ended and the former slaves were roaming from place to place marrying people who are their sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, fathers, mothers and cousins. We're still finding our relatives based on the rare diseases that runs in our family..

Remind the members or parishers of the religious institutions, churches and its religious leaders to collect their family history and write/document stories about what happened long time ago, talk to their old family members; this is something we should have did a long time ago, when we came out of slavery, but the Quakers, nor the Catholic Churches told us to do so. I found out that the best way to deal with those nasty, mean, cruel, no good dog relatives: collect the family history, info, records and old photos so that you can know who you are related to and so that your children won’t marry their cousins. An older neighbor from the south told me that he witness people couldn’t take care of their children and had to give them away. I talked to a man from the U.S. census board and he told me the same thing that whites, blacks were giving their children away everyday, because they couldn’t care for them. I’m in the Ancestry dna database and my configuration is there is 300,000 1st - 6th close cousins that you don’t even know; [not including the 7th - 10th or more cousins, 400,000?] the reasons that we have so many cousins that we don’t know, is due to slavery not allowed to know who we were kin to; the rape and pregnation of slaves by slavemasters; after slavery ended, the men folks stepping outside of their marriages unknowing/and knowing have offspring; we are marrying our cousins..

Update: 10/02/21 According to article in ‘PARADE’ in 2012, a psychologist study showed that children need to know (1) that things don’t always work out (2) and you need to know about your ‘Family History’! My comments: Find out how your parents and others were treated by who they thought were their parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts, cousins, great uncles/aunts? Who were their enemies and what happened: who got after them, tried to harm them or who tried to kill them or who killed them? Their dates, places of birth, death, marriages? Their children 👶? Did they go to school: where, when and how? Why didn’t they go to school or further their education? When did they leave home and why? Workplaces? A group member’s comments below: A foundation (family history) is so important ... even if just stories about a parent’s life experiences. Agreed, we need to raise children to be resilient. The other part psychologists are saying, it is important that parents allow children to solve their own problems. Too often parents step in to fix, but we will not be here forever to solve their problems..

According to an article in the Internet, there are about 600,000 switched at birth people among the earth’s population all around the world. Babies are switched at birth: are babies who because of other error or malice, are interchanged with each other at birth or very soon thereafter, leading to the babies being unknowingly raised by parents who are not their biological parents..

Update: 6/12/21, over 35 years ago, upon two occasions, a neighborhood friend out of the Blue, I don’t know what prompted him to state this, “your relatives aren’t exactly who you think that they are, your grandmother could be an aunt or a cousin”; or instead your granddad could be the uncle or the cousin. I didn’t think that this concerned me at all because I believed what my parents told me that those were their parents and relatives, but they weren’t too happy with the relatives and often complained; me and my siblings complained too, these relatives weren’t treating us right. I found out 15 years ago that there were many unofficial adoptions from the beginning of time up until the 1940s for the United States and still continuing all over the world (I imagine in war torn countries where children were/are orphaned))when there were no paperwork, no attorney nor court, nothing legal. You just take the baby, infant, toddler, small child, and teen home with you and when the ‘census records takers’ comes around you just tell them that its your daughter/son if they will be too young to remember that they were separated from their biological parents; they are not never told about whatever happened to their parents, that they were/are not their children, and that they are not the parents. Not only did relatives take in the orphans but none relatives or friends of the parents and neighbors. Back then heads of households took in strangers when they didn’t have nobody to stay with; and the census records aren’t correct as to the ‘role’ of the infant, baby, toddler and small child to the head of households. In many cases if the infant, baby, toddler and small child is believed to be no kin, then they are mistreated badly, not talked to, nor cared about nor looked out for nor encouraged to do better or stay in school; this is the reasons that you may not be liked, respected, cared about, talked to, looked out for by who you thought was your parents, grandparents, greats, aunts/uncles, first cousins and other kin, because they believe that you are not related/kinfolks. This is why you can’t find ‘Midwives papers’ 1.)because who you were told and grew up believing is your parents and grandparents believe that you are not which isn’t always true because the men folks were stepping outside of their marriages and dropping babies 2.) because the babies, infants, toddlers and small children weren’t old enough to remember that they were separated from their parents for whatever reasons - one to a few out of one hundred reasons. There’s many reasons why babies, infants, toddlers, small children and teens are separated from their biological parents. Collect the Family history anyway, because you possibly could be 2nd to 10th cousins, you would have to get an Ancestry dna test or 23&me to find out for sure. Is. 53:4-6; Ro. 1:9.

Orphan Train The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 250,000 children. The co-founders of the Orphan Train movement claimed that these children were orphaned, abandoned, abused, or homeless, but this was not always true. They were mostly the children of new immigrants and the children of the poor and destitute families living in these cities. Orphan train Three charitable institutions, Children's Village (founded 1851 by 24 philanthropists),[1] the Children's Aid Society (established 1853 by Charles Loring Brace) and later, the New York Foundling Hospital, endeavored to help these children. The institutions were supported by wealthy donors and operated by professional staff. The three institutions developed a program that placed homeless, orphaned, and abandoned city children, who numbered an estimated 30,000 in New York City alone in the 1850s, in foster homes throughout the country. The children were transported to their new homes on trains that were labeled "orphan trains" or "baby trains". This relocation of children ended in the 1920s with the beginning of organized foster care in America. Background Edit Charles Loring Brace The first orphanage in the United States was reportedly established in 1729 in Natchez, MS,[2] but institutional orphanages were uncommon before the early 19th century. *[Relatives or neighbors usually raised children who had lost their parents. Arrangements were informal and rarely involved courts.[2]]* Around 1830, the number of homeless children in large Eastern cities such as New York City exploded. In 1850, there were an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 homeless children in New York City. At the time, New York City's population was only 500,000.[2] Some children were orphaned when their parents died in epidemics of typhoid, yellow fever or the flu.[2] Others were abandoned due to poverty, illness, or addiction.[2] Many children sold matches, rags, or newspapers to survive.[3] For protection against street violence, they banded together and formed gangs.[3] In 1853, a young minister named Charles Loring Brace became concerned with the plight of street children (often known as "street Arabs").[3] He founded the Children's Aid Society.[3] During its first year the Children's Aid Society primarily offered boys religious guidance and vocational and academic instruction. Eventually, the society established the nation's first runaway shelter, the Newsboys' Lodging House, where vagrant boys received inexpensive room and board and basic education. Brace and his colleagues attempted to find jobs and homes for individual children, but they soon became overwhelmed by the numbers needing placement. Brace hit on the idea of sending groups of children to rural areas for adoption.[4] Brace believed that street children would have better lives if they left the poverty and debauchery of their lives in New York City and were instead raised by morally upright farm families.[5] Recognizing the need for labor in the expanding farm country, Brace believed that farmers would welcome homeless children, take them into their homes and treat them as their own. His program would turn out to be a forerunner of modern foster care.[3] After a year of dispatching children individually to farms in nearby Connecticut, Pennsylvania and rural New York, the Children's Aid Society mounted its first large-scale expedition to the Midwest in September 1854.[6] New York Foundling Hospital "Mercy Trains" Edit Main article: New York Foundling The New York Foundling Hospital was established in 1869 by Sister Mary Irene Fitzgibbon of the Sisters of Charity of New York as a shelter for abandoned infants. The Sisters worked in conjunction with Priests throughout the Midwest and South in an effort to place these children in Catholic families. The Foundling Hospital sent infants and toddlers to prearranged Roman Catholic homes from 1875 to 1914.[2] Parishioners in the destination regions were asked to accept children, and parish priests provided applications to approved families. This practice was first known as the "Baby Train," then later the "Mercy Train." By the 1910s, 1,000 children a year were placed with new families.[13].

Is there a religion that has the right teachings that will lead us to heaven? James 1:26-27 [26]If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. [27]Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:25_27.

James 1:27 ESV Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world..
