My name is Tawala Johnson and I am also searching for the african american greens.
My gggrandfather was David Edward Green, he was born on November 21, 1869 in Collingwood, Ontario. He was Methodist.
I found his attestation papers in the Canadian Expeditionary Over-seas Forces, that was on June 30, 1917, he was 47 1/2 yrs. old.
He married my gggrandmother who was white.. Her name was Grace Lavina Graham, they had the following children:
Edna Christina Green-Durnell (My gggrandmother)
Grace Green- Pinch, m. John Edmund Pinch
Irene Green-Collins, m. Fred Collins
Hilda Green-Onstay/Anstay, m. James Anstay
Violet Green-Doak m. Harold Doak (my grandmother is named after her)
Roy Green
Wilbert Green
Norman Green (my great uncle is named after him)
Grace Lavina Graham came from a well to do family and when she married David, she was disowned.
All of her kids were mulatto and all the kids but my gggrandmother chose to pass themselves off as white and marry white men.
I am looking for any information you can give me.
The attestation papers describe David as being dark skinned, no visible marks on him, stood 5'9" and listed his address at box 186, Collingwood, Ontario.
He had grey eyes, if you can help me in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated.
