Absolutely. Even though I can’t get past a brick wall. My dad down to my 3rd great grandfather has the same surname. I even know after my 3rd ggf is the male that fathered him as my dna matches connect me to the family genetically. I also believe there were siblings that were sold too young didn’t know to do so therefore the other names surfacing in my dna matches are descendants of theirs yet with different surnames.

It's a sad and depressing moment when you have so much hope as an African American to search your history to always come up to that 1870 Blockade that almost every other African American experiences. That's also the wall that keeps us from learning which African Tribes we belong to before being FORCED away from our motherland.

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. [2] For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [3] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. [4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. [5]For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: You don't belong to any African tribe like they want you to believe! You belong to one of the 12 Tribes of Israel! The Bible is the history of your ancestors! Deuteronomy 28:64-65,68 [64] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. [65] And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: [68] And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

Most whites did not have slaves. Of those that did, if they kept good records of their own family then they kept good records of slaves too. If they didn't keep good records of their own family (and most didnt) then the slave records are lacking too. Where we find the best slave records are for those who were on large plantations. It was a business. Businesses kept better records of slaves.

I’m glad the doctor referenced these ancestors as ENslaved people rather than slaves which confers them dignity and indicates that they did not choose to be treated as inhuman chattel!!

My older blood sister was able to trace our genealogy back to a an actual slave. My father was born in 1912 and he was raised by his paternal grandmother, who was an emancipated slave. My father's oldest child was born in the early 1960's and his youngest child was born in the late 1970s...I am so thankful that my older sister has done the research and has the documentation to substantiate our American ancestry...hopefully she can trace us farther back than that eventually.

My great great grandmother is native American and my great great grandfather was a slave who became a free man. They had about 5 kids and one of them was my great grandmother and she married a man who was from Jamaica and had my grandmother and her siblings. My grandmother married a black man in texas who also had native blood and my mother conceived me with a Mexican/Italian man and here I am.

My teachers are Professor Lee Cummings and Egmond Codfried; so, I don't claim aboriginal American heritage. My ancestry is native black European lineage: "30% of all African Americans DNA was traced back to Europe (England, Ireland, Russia, Germany, Italy, Scotland and Wales/Britain). It's interesting that the very nations BENJAMIN FRANKLIN NAMED AS BEING BLACK IN 1751 are the same nations that African Ancestry is listing as places of origination for the blacks in America". -Professor Lee Cummings, 'The Negro Question Book Series: 1-7', 2012 - 2019

I'd like to point out two things 1. The 1870 wall is significant because most slaves did NOT have their master's surname and/or changed whatever surname they had after slavery. That is what makes it hard to track them before 1870. There's little continuation of surname. Unfortunately, we have done a terrible job of passing down our oral history. Had we done better, the 1870 census wouldn't be a wall. Also, there's an 1850 wall that EVERYONE has. Before then only heads of households were in the census. 2. All Americans have family reunions and discuss oral history. That is not something that is unique to us.

Well done!

Great first step! Because many of us can't find certain connections to our enslaved ancestors and then to the ancestors in the homeland. We also need to find our native American tribal affiliations! Because a lot of us either were enslaved by Native Americans or are mixed with indigenous tribes, but have no significant European blood ancestry.

The ROLLE decedents of Florida. Slave owner in Palatka Florida Denys Rolle, a British noble from Scotland. Charlotta and then Rollestown was the plantation name in Palatka. From there,Denys son, John Rolle became owner of the plantation in Exuma Bahamas. Rolletown was the Bahamas Plantation. Add us to the ten million.

All of these records are useful in establishing those that are eligible for lineage based reparations. We have the tools and it’s time for America to roll out a comprehensive reparations package for Foundational Black Americans to once and for all pay the longest standing debt in American history.

You might want to start funding DNA testing for African population in Africa. That's the only way you'll be able to trace the matrilineal or patrilineal side of your DNA all the way back to Africa. Also you should fund genealogical researchers in Africa too, local people who know how their naming system works. From what I know they don't treat surnames like people in the West do. That's how you'll be able to bring down that brick wall.

DNA and genealogy are two different things. I'm not sure if the genealogical (paper trail) link back to Africa will ever be established for American descendants of enslaved people.

Please stop referring to our African ancestors as "slaves!" To refer to them as slaves is to reinforce the notion that they were other than human; that they did not have whole human identities and lives before they were loaded onto ships. It also suggests that we, their descendants, do not deserve to be compensated for all they (and their progeny) have withstood for 400+ years. Correction: They were enslaved.
