My name is Kesha Shervon Presswood born 10/01/1981. I'm from south central LAA. and I'm just trying to do a little research on my last name and maybe meet some long distance family members. I was told when I was a little girl, that my last name is slave name. Most of my slave ancestors got their names according to what they doing or how they were working on the plantation. For example, If your last name is "Robinson" you were the son of a Robin. If your last name is "Smith" you were the son a blacksmith. And since my last name is "Presswood" my ancestors was pressing wood. My Father's name os Emitt Presswood and his mother is Ella Mae Presswood. My mother is Linda Young. If I sound like family email me whenever you get a chance
