I assume this information above is from the "Find A Grave" site, it looks like it. Do you think that due to Prince being so famous, they are keeping where John is buried off the site, so that it is not disturbed? I am not aware if his father was actually interred, or was cremated and perhaps ashes spread somewhere else anyway. Thought someone might know.

Yes, that information is from Find A Grave. Could very well be 'unknown' for those reason(s).

Well, it doesn't have to be about race and ethnicity but of course that is a part of the human story, whose who in family doesn't mean race has to be discussed.
Also it is about PRINCE. lol that is the difference. We discuss every possible woman Prince possibly had sex with. Who cheated on who etc

Again the Prince.org. The information is just about Prince's geneology... ya know how people look over the geneology of Jesus in the bible etc. This is just about Prince, not everyone has the same geneology or bloodline. There is a show called Finding Your Roots with celebrities... people who are fans of those celebrities watch the show. People who are fans of Geneology Roadshow(everyday people) watch for all the history discoversies family etc

So let's let the thread be what it is..it is nothing more nothing less. This is a Prince fan group so to discuss Prince's geneology and family is not far fetched.

I answered the question. A thread outside of Prince can be created in P&R. Identity, Race, Ethnicity, Labels etc

So no one else comes in an takes this all further, I will be removing this conversation.

This is simply about Prince. Let's move on.

The question was answered. The reason the OP is posting this is because it is about PRINCE. Period. It's about Prince.

Wow!

All of this kinda makes me wonder...about how much Prince may have know about where all his people came from and the various ethnicities. Like did he and his mom look over all the old photos and geneology that they might have had. Things we will never know.....

I know that the DNA testing has only become popular over the last 10 to 15 years. (He was WAY to famous and enjoyed his privacy too much for putting that out there, I think.) For years I thought I was part Native American, then I got my results, and I am not. It was really quite shocking when you think all that time you are something and it turns out to be untrue.

Maybe his song lyrics were more telling than we understood.

Tyka needs to do the Finding Your Roots show so all of this can be officially confirmed!!!

The information and pictures seem legit to me, however, these days it is so easy to create these facts and stories.

Wouldn't that be great? But that would never happen. It takes away the aura, the mystery....

True....she's going to carry that forward for Prince. Interesting to wonder whether she or Prince looked into it privately.
