The Davenport Family

Family tree

An interactive family tree tracing lineage, including DNA connections to African villages. Our tree traces back to the villages in Africa where our ancestors originated, a history interrupted by the horrors of slavery in the South. Through DNA evidence, we have uncovered connections to specific African villages. Unlike most family trees, our site provides incredibly deep historical context of how our ancestors lived, worked, the challenges faced by their unique circumstances, and makes you truly understand their lives.
