When you ask someone where they come from and they are from Europe they usually know. If, like me, your family were at some stage enslaved then where do you come from? is a big question. Yes as black people we all know we are African, but Africa has such an array of people and tribes. Join me on a journey of self discovery as I retrace 300 years of my ancestry. This is a must for anyone interested in tracing their West African roots. This book can help anyone looking to trace their lineage. We journey from Africa to the Carribean America and look at the era surrounding the development of the Gold Coast. This book delves into the different tribes of Africa and uses a number of sources to identify who these slaves were their beliefs and cultures and the clues they left behind in the Translantic New World.
