Black Genealogy & History
Black is an old Scottish and English name, either descriptive or occupational. It is derived from Old English "blaec", meaning black, and could refer to someone with dark hair or the darker-skinned native Celts and Britons compared to their Anglo-Saxon invaders. Alternatively, it could refer to a blacksmith or a chimney sweep. Black family history says that they held a family seat (feudal manor) in Lincolnshire, by legend converting to Christianity by 628 by Paulinus, and then moved north to Scotland by the 1100s. Their motto "non crux, sed lux" means "not the cross but its light". The first American in Black genealogy landed in Virginia in 1637.
