Africans were taken from the continent as slaves and landed in the Western Hemisphere on all land masses. Miscegenation took place and the blood of the indigenous people, the African people, and the white European people was mixed. The records of the children resulting from the mixing were nonexistent to poor for the vast majority of African and Indigenous people and scanty for the Europeans.
Thanks to the sciences of Molecular Biology and Genetics modern man has been able to devise a method of gene matching that facilitates identifying family relationships existing between human individuals without regard to their social identifications. As a result of these scientific facts an industry has emerged that uses the science of gene matching analysis to identify an individual's genetic relationship to other humans. It is this identification process and the relatively low cost of accessing the service that opened the doors for the lost relationships of the slavery era to be restored. The humans of the world are on the verge of becoming conscious of their familial relationships long lost.
I dedicate this discussion group to the purpose if identifying the long lost relationships between the Africans removed from Africa during the Transatlantic and Trans-Saharan slave trades. As more people of African descent access the DNA commercial assessment services a major reunification of ancient families will take place. It is time.
