Helping African Americans Trace Slaveholding Ancestors Using DNA

This video, Helping African Americans Trace Slaveholding Ancestors Using DNA, investigates the benefits of DNA research to answer vital family history questions. Was "Slave Master Smyre" my ancestor? Good research starts with a good question, and this was mine. My third great grandfather Henry Johnson was born enslaved in Lincoln County, North Carolina in the 1830s. My family's oral history identified his father only as “Master Smyre.” Who was this man? Was this true? How could I be sure? African Americans face many challenges in advancing their family histories. One key challenge is successfully tracing back to slaveholding ancestors.  Many African Americans have European ancestry dating back to slavery, the result of offspring between white men and enslaved women. Lack of documentation has traditionally made it nearly impossible to trace these connections.  DNA testing offers African Americans new possibilities to discover and validate these relationships. In this session, I will teach successful strategies for researching slaveholding ancestors using DNA. I will share how I used extensive DNA testing to validate Henry Johnson as a descendant of the slave-owning Smyres who emigrated from Germany to North Carolina in the early 18th century.
