Wednesdays Feb. 1 & 8, from 8-10 pm (in Alabama) on Public Television
African American Lives with Dr. Henry Louis Gates will show in 2 parts.
Gates says, "Slavery deprived African Americans of their historical and
familial memory, and this series is an attempt to restore that memory --
on both sides of the Atlantic." 

 The series follows DNA ancestral analysis of several prominent African
Americans.  In a very limited fashion you can also get your deep
ancestry traced by joining the National Geographics Geonome project.  I
believe the website is www.nationalgeographics.org
<http://www.nationalgeographics.org/>  .  I did this and the results
were limited but VERY personally moving.  Check with your tax attorney
to see if the nominal fee (for this kind of DNA analysis) to participate
in this huge research project by this non-profit organization is
partially or wholly tax deductible.
