Genealogy can reveal all manners of details about a family lineage, and Diana Roman said her records can trace the ancestral roots of over 4 million people. 

The Dadeville resident attributes the vast connections to her relation to the Hairstons, the largest slave-owning family in the United States. It’s a history Roman said she explored 15 years ago after watching the television show “Finding Your Roots.”
