Chada is Bohemian for “Smoke” or an ironically derogatory term, for a “dark skinned Bohemian”, not to be confused with the modern day “gypsy”. My mother’s father’s father came from ‘The Kingdom of Bohemia‘ at the turn of the last century. The KOB is the predecessor of the current Czech Republic. I am 23% Eastern European (The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia. Historically known as Bohemia.)

Additionally, I am French/German (33.9%) and the descendant of:
Jacob Walrath 1723-1790 a Veteran of the French & Indian War; his son Ens Nicholas Walrath 1750-1836 a Veteran of the Revolutionary War and his son; Abraham Walrod 1789-1863 a Veteran of the War of 1812 from maternal grandmother’s father.
The other side of the coin is 40.7% Sub Saharan African with the largest portion being 27.1% Nigerian (Igbo people). As we know from American history; that lineage is a bit more difficult to trace back.
