The public service chanel here in Everett, Chanel 9 has a show on the
genealogy search for Blacks to find thier genetic makeup. Since I have
traced 3 Mulato lines in 3 different states, Jalisco, Zacatecas and
Michoacan I was very interested in what they had to say. They shared
the fact that the Portuguese controlled the slave trade and that in
the time frame I'm looking at, mid 1600's the odds are the slaves were
from Angola. They shared the major advancments they are making daily
in genetic testing now being able to isolate genes to find what
percentages we are of different ethnic backgrounds. I find this all
very exciting and hope if you get the chance that you will get to
watch this very informative show. Even if you have no black ancestors
the sharing of genetic information and genealogy research methods is
great and well worth watching.

there is a DNA testing that they say can tell you what part of Africa
you came from. . .I don't know to much about it other than what they
claim:

if you find out when that show will be on next or if its available via
Blockbuster or someplace let us know. I'd like to see it as I share the
same blood as you, well you never know, at least the same as that
coming from the same continent.

This didn't go through the first time....I am resending it....
Hi Linda,
I also watched that show. I found it was much easier to understand
and follow than what is currently "out there". Relating to the show's
discussion on Angola, it said that one out of every 4 African Americans were
believed to be from that area. For those of you that didn't get to watch
the show, here is a clip of it:

I might have mentioned that I have done some research on the African
Diaspora, in particular throughout Latin America. While I wished I could
have done much more research, and I am by no means an expert, I can share
this: Spain was very much involved in the slave trade as were the British,
Dutch, and Portuguese and to a lessor extent the French.
Even though Spain and England agreed to stop the slave trading NORTH OF THE
EQUATOR in the early 1800's, they continued exporting slaves south of

Joseph,
The show is called African American Lives and it will be shown again on
February 12 at 1:00 am PST. Most of their programs are available on video
from their PBS.org store. Our local PBS channel 9 in my area has a store
in Seattle.

Linda,
I saw that show the other evening, too. My husband watched too, and
he was amazed. It was especially interesting to me, since I am discovering
just how many mulato lines I have on my father's side from Zacatecas. It
should be interesting to whites too to find out that they may have as much as
11% African blood as that genetecist found out (and his mother told him to stop
talking about it-he looked nothing but white), and that someone like the
professor that narrated the show had 50% white blood even though anyone looking
at him would say he was black. When Oprah saw the documents for her black
slave ancestors and she cried, I cried too. It was interesting too that
blacks had Asian blood too.
My father's Spanish ancestors, the Olagues and Tinajeros (Felix/Suriano)
were all mulatos by the mid and late 1700's.
I really want to send for those DNA kits now,
