African Roots

It might seem a bit odd to place a post like this about African roots under the category of a European ancestral religion (Asatru), but it illustrates a very important point - ancestry is universal, and all of us, as human beings, are concerned with and intrigued by our ancestry.

Helping Find African Roots. A genetic testing company helps black Americans trace their ancestors' African origins. African Ancestry's home test kits aren't 100 percent exact, but users say even bits of general information are greatly fulfilling. By Jennifer Friedlin. [Wired News]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
