Whites are probably better able to trace their origins in Europe. If they came to U.S. the same time as the African slaves, that's doubtful. Anything beyond 3 generations is very difficult to trace for anyone. African Americans have longer roots in the U.S. than many white ethnicities who immigrated here in the late 19th/early 20th century, so of course they're not going to know their African origins in many cases. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:898158952] in People who...
