Question

Do you guys know any ancestry of any famous african american

Answer 1

In addition to what Wendy said, you are also very focused on race as your primary genealogy interest,  Why?  That is not the primary focus of genealogy for most genealogists.  For much of our ancestors, we have no idea what races they were, as they were mostly not famous people, and I have found that in spite of having a race column on census records, many times that column is not filled in.  I have seen that repeatedly in counties that I am searching in.  And quite frankly, although knowing what race each person was would be interesting information, it is hardly anything I look for or include in any of my research and records.  Get over the race thing and stop asking the same freaking questions over and over, and under different account names.

Answer 2

Did you have someone specific in mind?  If so, a name would be helpful to allow us to better assist you.  If you are just looking in general for the ancestry of different famous people then you might want to try looking them up specifically in your favorite search engine. You would search their full name in "John Doe" and then add ancestry or genealogy.

Answer 3

This would depend on who you are interested in.

Alex Hailey, writer of Roots, might be someone famous for you.

To find a person of interest go to www.google.com and put in the first and last name of the person and the word genealogy.  If someone has done their family tree, this will bring up the sites that would have them.

Answer 4

Herman, you are repeatedly asking the SAME QUESTIONS.  People put time/effort into finding information, which you don't seem to appreciate.

WHY do you not try finding who your own ancestors are??
