For 20 years, African Ancestry has been helping people trace their roots back to Africa.

The organization, founded by Dr. Gina Paige and Dr. Rick Kittles, has helped more than 1 million people reconnect with the roots of their family tree — by tracing their African maternal and paternal lineages.

“The type of testing that we do looks at one branch of your family tree to determine where your family line was prior to the slave trade,” said Dr. Paige on Thursday’s edition of WABE’s “Closer Look.”
