Description
The Black Belt of Alabama DNA Project now connected to the African American Griot Legacy Project (AAGLP) was intended to use DNA as a tool for African Americans researching their central Alabama roots. It started with earlier members who can trace their male (Y-DNA) or female (MtDNA) ancestry to Dallas, Marengo, Perry or Wilcox counties (or to areas that border these counties) in the period from about 1840 through 1880. It continues to focus in this research while at the same time connecting to the broader research of the African American Legacy Project breaking down brick walls as a result of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.
Requirements
A Geographic Project connects individuals who believe their direct line comes from a specific location. The Dual Geographic Projects are for individuals who order an mtDNA or Y-DNA test. Either their direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother's...) or direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) originates from this area.
