What If You Could Find the African Family Your Ancestors Were Separated From 200 Years Ago?

For generations, African American families have wondered what happened to the relatives their ancestors were separated from during slavery.

What if those family connections could be rediscovered? Through DNA testing, genealogy, and personalized ancestral research, Tribal Tapestry investigates the possibility of identifying living African relatives connected to your family across generations.

We’ve helped reunite families separated for approximately 200 years. Now, we’d like to explore what’s possible for yours.

Watch Gary’s Story (60s)

From DNA Discovery to an Igbo Family Homecoming

For approximately 200 years, two branches of a family lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic, separated by the history of slavery. One branch remained in Africa. Another became part of the African American story. Generations later, Tribal Tapestry’s ancestral research helped reconnect those branches.

Through DNA research and genealogy, we identified living Nigerian relatives of Gary Frazier who share a common ancestor with him dating back approximately 200 years.

Prince Jon James Olomo, Founder and CEO of Tribal Tapestry, personally guided Gary and his wife, Kamilah, to Abia State, Nigeria, where Gary reunited with members of his ancestral family. During the homecoming, Gary was also received by a traditional Igbo king, who bestowed upon him the indigenous name Nwadiala — meaning ‘Son of the Soil.’ What began as an investigation into Gary’s ancestry became a journey back to living family.

And Gary’s story raises an extraordinary question: Could your family still be waiting to be found?

Your ancestry may be more than a place on a map. It may be a family waiting to welcome you.

For generations, African American families have carried stories of resilience, survival, and hope. But across the Atlantic, there may be another chapter of your family’s history waiting to be discovered.

Your ancestors belonged to families, communities, and cultures long before their descendants became Americans. Through DNA discovery and ancestral research, Tribal Tapestry helps you explore those connections and discover what they may mean for you and future generations.
