I'm looking for info on the pirate Blackbeard. I have seen his name listed as Edward Thach and many other names. The two names that are most often associated with him are Edward Teach and Edward Drummonds. I know he came from a wealthy family in England, but would like info on who his descendents are and who his ancestors are. does anyone have him on their family tree?

BlackBeard is on my family tree through my mothers side. I dont know anything about him though, as all i was told was that i am related to him as my aunt did the family tree with her mother long ago.
|
There is an entire Blackbeard's Shop and museum on Okracoke Island, NC that has tons of info. They have info of a possible wife and child and it seems about his parents as well.
|
I have also been told that he is in my family tree. My great aunt on my fathers side did the trace. great Aunt lived in CA somewhere.

Supposedly we are descendants of Blackbeard. Some of our relatives on the "Thach" side of our family can be traced back to North Carolina, (one of Blackbeard's hide outs). - Kind regards, Ed Thach.
