"In the research that was done for [my new] book, I was able to learn about my heritage, my family, and going back to my great, great grandmother," Knowles explained. "I was also learning that my grandmother, Hester, actually had brothers that were twins, Sidney Moore and Gitney Moore!"

"You can see that the twins started in our ancestry, and Beyonce should be proud of that," he added.
