Most African-Americans originated in Africa. They were brought here as slaves in the 17th- through 19th-centuries. They lived in the Southern U.S., but some made their way North as free Americans.
Thanks a lot!!!Do you know of any good web sites I can explore?
This site has lots of great information about African-American history and culture.

This is my first time having to right a journal about a subordinate group member. I do not know where to begin. Can you tell me if my ancestry is considered subordinate? My dad is German and my mother French, Irish and Spanish from Spain. Would it be possible to find out about my dad's family when I only know some last names?
My dad divorced three times when I was growing up, so, I do not know my ancestry very well. My dad is eight years old and tells me that his great, great grandfather was called, Von Brause because of a medal he received from a brave act during war in Europe.
Thank you,
Beverly

Based on the information you provided, your ancestry does not fall into the category of subordinate group. Your German, French, Irish, and Spanish heritage represents ethnic backgrounds, but it does not indicate membership in a subordinate group.
To explore your dad's family history, even with limited information, it is still possible to find out more about his family. Here are some steps you can take:
1. Start with what you know: Make a list of all the family names you are aware of, including your great-great-grandfather's name, Von Brause. Note down any other names and dates you have, such as birth or marriage dates.
2. Gather family documents: Look for any documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or photographs, that might provide additional clues about your family's history. Talk to your dad or other relatives who might have more information.
3. Conduct online research: Utilize genealogy websites like Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, or FamilySearch.org. Enter the information you have and search for any potential matches or family trees that connect to your dad's family.
4. Reach out to relatives: Contact your relatives, especially older family members or distant cousins who might have valuable information about your family's history. They may have stories, documents, or knowledge that can help you reconstruct your family tree.
5. Engage with local resources: Visit local libraries, historical societies, or archives in the areas where your ancestors may have lived. They might have records or resources specific to the places your dad's family originated from.
Remember, tracing family history can be a rewarding but sometimes challenging process. It may require patience, persistence, and digging deep into various resources. Good luck in your research and enjoy uncovering your family's story!
