specifically slaves brought to haiti


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: According the the Wikipedia article I have linked below, "There were over 173 city-states and kingdoms in the African regions affected by the slave trade between 1502 and 1853." The article gives an overview of African kingdoms through this time period.

DNA/ mDNA may help an individual identify one of their ancestral lines, but I suspect It would be very difficult to link a specific person to a specific African location or tribe after so many generations.
