It is moving, it is sobering, it is a reach back into history. The tales about the family tree of first lady Michelle Obama and an American map that traces her back to the slaves and slave owners that were in her past. This woman who made it all the way to the White House. ABC's Yunji de Nies has more on the first of this journey.
它时而运动，时而清醒，这一次它回到历史中来。关于第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马和美国版图的故事要追溯到她在过去回到奴隶及奴隶主的时代。这个女人用自己所有的方式对白宫奉献。ABC新闻的芸纪•德•尼尔斯对此有着深入的观点。
The rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady-Michelle Obama.

Here is a journey that began more than a century ago with the death of a slave holder who left all of his property to relatives including a six-year-old girl named Malvinia valued at 475 dollars. She worked on a farm that grew wheat, corn and cotton living an unimaginable life of labour.
这里的旅程始于一个多世纪前，死亡的奴隶主把他所有的财产分给亲属，其中包括价值475美元的一个6岁的名叫马尔维亚的小女孩。她在农场工作，种植小麦，玉米和棉花，生活难以想象的艰辛。
She was one of three slaves. There was a very small farm. It wasn't kind of the notion of a plantation that we have.
她是3名奴隶之一。曾经有一个非常小的农场，而这它不是那种我们想象的种植园。
With so few slaves, Malvinia likely worked in the house and laboured in the field. As a teenager, she gave birth to a son with a white man.
这么少的奴隶，马尔维亚可能工作在家和田地工作。作为一个少女，她与一个白人生了一个儿子。
The child is listed in this 1870 census as a "mulatto", the term used to describe a person of mixed race. His name was Dolphus Shields, Michelle Obama's great-great-grandfather. Many families have stories like Mrs Obama did about white ancestors.

Three generations later, Marian Shields Robinson would give birth to little Michelle. In Mrs Obama Holt sees Shields.
