Has anybody ever traced their roots? How far back have you made it? Do you have any tips that could help anybody else with their search.

for those of you have been able to trace back, i give you so many props. i only know my grandparents on my dad's side so that's not going anywhere and on my mom's side it would take awhile but i could try and coerce my great-grandpa into seeing if he ever heard any stories about where we're from. for right now, i just keep reppin' the whole continent...which is the sadness of colonialism.

None of us have been able to trace our roots back to Mother Africa.. sadly i only end up with british (Brittan) and Portugesse ( Azores, Portugal) people on my dads side and Native Americans and White people with a small percent of blacks on my moms side. Hopefully one day i can track both my parents roots, its rumored Ethopia but that would have been impossible since there were no Ethopian slaves.
