Question

African americans:do you guys have common ancestors in africa?

Answer 1

yes, from my own research there are 5 major tribes in which it seems most of african americans come from.  It takes a lot of patience and time to research back to africa.  DNA tests are making the search a little easier.  DNA can't tell exactly what tribe African Americans came from, but it can narrow the search.

Answer 2

Of course they do.  It's just that it's well nigh impossible to trace them.

Seems like we all descend from 5 African females only.

Answer 3

How would ANYONE know who their ancestors are, without doing the research?

YOU need to stop running in circles about what other people's ancestors are, and start researching who you are. You keep asking for information that is not known or public information.

All of the questions you ask are completely useless as far as who you are.

Answer 4

African American's ancestors are traced back to Africa. Sadly, because African Americans don't have their original last name and don't know the country their originally from, only a DNA testing can trace that.
