The public service chanel here in Everett, Chanel 9 has a show on the
genealogy search for Blacks to find thier genetic makeup. Since I have
traced 3 Mulato lines in 3 different states, Jalisco, Zacatecas and
Michoacan I was very interested in what they had to say. They shared
the fact that the Portuguese controlled the slave trade and that in
the time frame I'm looking at, mid 1600's the odds are the slaves were
from Angola. They shared the major advancments they are making daily
in genetic testing now being able to isolate genes to find what
percentages we are of different ethnic backgrounds. I find this all
very exciting and hope if you get the chance that you will get to
watch this very informative show. Even if you have no black ancestors
the sharing of genetic information and genealogy research methods is
great and well worth watching.

DNA testing advances

there is a DNA testing that they say can tell you what part of Africa
you came from. . .I don't know to much about it other than what they
claim:

if you find out when that show will be on next or if its available via
Blockbuster or someplace let us know. I'd like to see it as I share the
same blood as you, well you never know, at least the same as that
coming from the same continent.

and follow than what is currently "out there". Relating to the show's
discussion on Angola, it said that one out of every 4 African Americans were
believed to be from that area. For those of you that didn't get to watch
the show, here is a clip of it:
Diaspora, in particular throughout Latin America. While I wished I could
have done much more research, and I am by no means an expert, I can share
this: Spain was very much involved in the slave trade as were the British,
Dutch, and Portuguese and to a lessor extent the French.
EQUATOR in the early 1800's, they continued exporting slaves south of equator
for decades later.So, there were waves of the African Diaspora, coming from
different parts of Africa at different times and at the same times as well......
Winfrey's ancestors in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, or Nigeria (made to walk
through Ghana to Cape Coast Ghana).
is wonderful what they can do with the tracing of our roots through DNA - I was
so excited for the few that were able to make some definite connections not only
through genealogical research, but also DNA.
