  1. He had 32 great great great grandparents.  Which set are you talking about????


  2. Herman are you referring to a TV programme, if you are you posted this question in the wrong forum. This is the genealogy  forum is this where you intended it to be.

  3. Chris Tucker was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Mary, who was involved in church work, and Norris Tucker, who owned a janitorial service. Through DNA tests (as aired on the 2006 PBS documentary African American Lives), his paternal ancestry was traced back to the Mbundu ethnic group of Angola and his mother's to Cameroon.  Tucker has also managed to trace his family tree back to the 1830s. The test also showed that Tucker's ancestry is 83 percent Sub-Saharan African, 10 percent Native American, and 7 percent European.

         Tucker:guessed that he was descended from a tribe in modern-day Ghana. His Y chromosome test was the most intriguing of the group: it linked him to the Mbundu tribe, who inhabit modern-day central Angola.  In fact, the DNA link was so strong that researchers said it was within the last eight generations...which is rare (researchers were only able to trace his family tree to the 1830s, and you may recall how one of his fascinating relatives kept selling plots of land to keep it in black hands during the Jim Crow Era). Apparently 1 in 4 U.S. slaves came from what is now the Congo-Angola region.

    Childhood and Family:

    In Atlanta, Georgia, Christopher Tucker was born on August 31, 1972 to parents Norris Tucker  and Mary Tucker. The youngest of six children, Chris has two older sisters and three older brothers. His son Chris Tucker Jr., who was born in September 1998.

  4. i think his great grandpa was tibetan.and his great grandma was begali.his grand parents were both from somewhere between tanganyika and kilimanjaroo and his dad is black and his momma is chinegro....so chris is basically BLACKINESE!!
