Looking at your 3rd great grandmother I am reminded of a line from Shakespeare: “Tho she be but little, yet is she fierce”. (I say this as a v short woman myself.)
看着你的高祖母（太奶奶的妈妈），我想起了莎士比亚的一句台词：“虽然她身形娇小，但她气场全开”。
（本人作为个子超矮的女生，对此深有感触。）

lol I bet my 3rd great grandpa knew the fierce part personally, and take pride in that. Ain’t nothing wrong with being a short queen 💪🏾
哈哈，我敢打赌我那高祖父当年肯定亲身体会过那种“凶猛”劲儿，而且以此为荣呢。当个小个子女王也没啥不好的 💪🏾

Most definitely. It’s funny because a lot of us in the family are built just like him.
那可不。说来挺有意思的，我们家里好多人长得都跟他一模一样。

Label those photos! And if you want I can do a little research on them!

I appreciate that but we pretty much know their whole biography lol. And they’re most definitely labeled. My dads side of the Family has a documented tree going back to the late 18th century.
谢谢你的好意，但关于他们的生平我们基本都知道了，哈哈。而且它们肯定都贴好标签了。我爸爸那边的家族史，族谱甚至能追溯到18世纪末呢。

I thought the same thing. I bet it’s both heartbreaking and full of strength.
我也这么想。我敢打赌这背后既有令人心碎的过往，又充满了坚韧的力量。

You are right to feel strong pride in them and gratitude. They were giants to endure all that.
你为他们感到强烈的自豪和感激是完全正确的。他们真是了不起，能熬过这一切。

I agree. People back then had to be tough. It was tough just to get through the days for them I would bet. Very different America back then.
我同意。那时候的人必须得够硬气。我敢说，对他们而言，光是熬过每一天都够受的了。当时的美国和现在完全是两码事。

They did. They endured and loved their children and grandchildren. He’s actually biracial due to slavemaster sexually abusing my 4th great grandma. Sorry for the uncut truth but that’s the story.
他们确实做到了。他们忍受了一切，也深爱着自己的子孙后代。其实他是混血儿，因为当年奴隶主性侵了我曾曾曾祖母。抱歉把这种没经过修饰的真相说出来，但事实就是这样。

Be proud to shout that truth out loud! I am so over the whitewashing of slavery.
大声把真相喊出来吧，这没什么好怕的！我对那种美化奴隶制的行为简直受够了。

I feel ya, if we are going to acknowledge history we HAVE to acknowledge slavery. I also feel the First Nations don’t get their story told enough as well.
我懂你，既然我们要正视历史，就“必须”得承认奴隶制的存在。我还觉得原住民的故事讲得也远远不够。

There is a special place in Heaven for those born into slavery.

More people need to realize that we are only 3-4 generations removed from slavery: that’s NOTHING in the grand scheme of time. Some folks
Only 2-3 if they are elderly were lucky enough to know their great grandparents! What a gift for your family to have not just their stories, but actual photos for your family. I’m a historian by trade, and things like this… man, I’m a little teary over here. Thank you so much for sharing!
更多人得意识到，距离奴隶制结束其实也就过去三四代人而已：在宏大的历史长河里，这点时间根本不算什么。有些人要是年纪大点，可能才隔了两三代，那真是幸运，还能亲耳听到曾祖辈讲他们的故事！
你们家不仅留下了故事，还有货真价实的照片传下来，这真是天大的福分。我是干历史研究这一行的，看到这些东西……天哪，我都要看哭了。真的太感谢你的分享了！

It's amazing you have a picture going back this far! My great grandparents used to make walking sticks that looked like this out of tree branches! They were sturdy and coated in shellac to make them shiny, I still have one.
真没想到你们竟然留着这么久远的照片！我曾祖父母以前也做过这种用树枝做的手杖！它们特别结实，还涂了虫胶漆，看起来亮闪闪的，我现在还留着一根呢。

What a rare and precious family heirloom! You must treasure this old photograph so much!! So many people of all races don’t know who their first g-grandparents were, and it is so much more difficult to trace the histories of formerly enslaved ancestors. I love how you and your family have built your trees and know their stories. One of my cousins photographed many of our old pictures and digitized them, so they are available to anyone in the family.
这真是件罕见又珍贵的传家宝！你一定特别珍惜这张老照片！！
很多人，无论什么种族，根本不知道自己的曾曾祖父母是谁，而追溯那些曾被奴役的祖先的历史，难度更是大得多。我特别欣赏你和你的家人能把家谱梳理得这么好，还了解他们的故事。我的一个表亲把我们家好多老照片都拍了下来并做了数字化处理，这样家里所有人都能看到了。

He was born in Tennessee, while she was from Florida and ended up on the same plantation as him. When they got their freedom they moved to Ft Smith Arkansas where my maw maw(2nd great grandma) was born. Then they all ended up in Oklahoma in Muscogee/Tulsa where my great grandpa was born who ended up marrying a Yuchi/cherokee/catawba woman, my great grandma.
他出生在田纳西州，而她来自佛罗里达州，后来落到了和他同一个种植园里。他们获得自由后搬到了阿肯色州的史密斯堡（Ft Smith），我外曾祖母（即我的高外祖母）就是在那里出生的。后来他们全家又搬到了俄克拉荷马州的马斯科吉/塔尔萨，我曾祖父就是在那里出生的。他后来娶了一位尤奇族/切罗基族/卡托巴族血统的女性，也就是我的曾祖母。

Did they get to be interviewed in the WPA Narritives?
他们有被收录进《WPA叙事》（WPA Narratives）进行访谈吗？

If they did I’m not aware of it. They passed down the history to my maw maw(their daughter), she passed it on to my grandma/great aunts and uncles, who passed it on to us.
如果有的话，我也不清楚。他们把这些往事传给了我的玛玛（maw maw，也就是他们的女儿），她又传给了我奶奶/外婆和叔伯姨婶们，最后再传给了我们。

How wonderful you have that pic.. you are a rare individual who has a pic of relatives born into slavery.. cherish it❣️

What year was this roughly? How cool to have such an old photo to remember your ancestors! But also a reminder that slavery in the USA wasn’t too long ago 😢
这大概是哪一年的照片啊？能有这么久远的照片来纪念先祖，简直太酷了！但它也提醒了我们，美国的奴隶制其实并没有过去太久 😢

Your Great Grandmother looks like she was a really nice lady. Think of all the advice and guidance she could’ve given her offspring. If they ever build a time machine I’d definitely go back to see her 😊 Thank you for sharing OP
你曾祖母看起来真是位面善的好人。想想看，她本可以为后代提供多少建议和指导啊。如果他们真造出时光机，我绝对要回到过去见她一面 😊
谢谢楼主分享。

This is amazing! So much history like this has been lost. An actual photo is just incredible. A bit envious of this time capsule of a life lived. My great great great was from Scotland and sold himself into bondage in Australia so he could buy his freedom to the US. Not much survived from that time, long boat ride back then. Just to get a glimpse would be amazing. Looks like a very loving couple. I hope they had a peaceful life after what they endured.
这太震撼了！像这样承载着历史的东西流失了太多。能拥有一张实物照片简直不可思议。真的有点羡慕你拥有这枚封存了往昔生活的“时间胶囊”。
我的高祖辈来自苏格兰，为了攒钱去美国赎回自由身，他卖身去了澳大利亚做苦役。那个年代船程太长，几乎没留下什么资料。能瞥见一眼当年的样子，我就满足了。
照片里的这对夫妇看起来非常恩爱。希望他们在经历了那一切苦难后，能过上平静的生活。
