Sorority Partners with African Ancestry to Trace Ancestral Roots

Expanding self-discovery and pride through DNA

Our roots are the foundation of our family tree. They help define who we are. However, most people of African descent know more about the ancestry of others than they do about their own. That’s why African Ancestry is using the power of DNA to help find genealogic answers—easily, accurately and profoundly.

Using their exclusive database of over 25,000 indigenous African genetic sequences and proprietary analytical tools, African Ancestry is the only company that traces maternal and/or paternal ancestry back to a specific present-day African country of origin and, often, to a specific African ethnic group.

As part of the Centennial Celebration, Alpha Kappa Alpha has partnered with African Ancestry to help its members, their families and the entire African American community reconnect to their ancestral past—strengthening the Black family and creating a new sense of pride.
