I'm trying to trace my roots Vol. The Motherland

Has anyone done this before? Online? Agency? Interested in finding out where I really came from.

I want to try this too but the bad reviews are stopping me.

It will change your life, but it's more than just a simple DNA...your family may have adoptions, falsified identities, destroyed records etc., you want to investigate all of these variables so you'll have a better understanding of your roots.

No need to pay for those services when it's just going to lead you back to the homeland.

Some, who am I kidding. A lot of people can't handle having origins tracing back to Africa 

. Dudes I've had discussions with are heated if you suggest such a thing. Especially being latino, hella prejudices.

Sucks man. I was talking to my Pops a month ago about our family's history and it ends with my great grandfather. I know he came from the east coast (I think Virginia) but that's all we know. He says he regrets not asking more questions to his elders before they passed.

Besides the DNA test are there any other accurate ways to trace African ancestry?

I know a chick that did this African ancestry thing. She was mainly west African and 30% European (it was more broken down I'm just summarizing)
