PORTAL TO THE PAST Friday, August 8, 2008
Families were torn apart to fuel the slave trade before the civil war. Now DNA testing may be the key to answering the question long-gone ancestors cannot: where did I come from? As part of a series, CNN Presents: Black in America, the Rand family of Houston, TX, is one step closer to learning the truth. Experts swabbed and sent DNA samples from matriarch Mineola Johnson, 102, for mitochondrial DNA testing in hopes of matching it to African Ancestry's database, which reflects roughly 45% of Africa's lineage. The results show a strong likelihood that the Rand-Johnson families originated in Sierra Leone, filling in one more branch of their genealogical tree.
