Lincoln's ancestors came from England and Germany.

There was a spoof article written by "The Daily Squib" that said Anthropologist Dr. Alan Holdsworth's DNA research shows that Abraham Lincoln's father was a black slave. The paper goes on to say that secret love letters unearthed in 2003 reveal that Lincoln's mother was conducting a clandestine affair with a slave.

The Daily Squib is a satirical newspaper offering spoof news, political satire, and comedy, kind of like The Onion. All of its stories are fake. The story of Abraham Lincoln being half black is a hoax.
