Greateful to find out what I have always been looking for.

I as a Black-Muslim Woman, have always wondered about what really happened during the time of slavery and also who and where my family and ancestry originally came from. Ive always had question that not even my own family could answer. As far as the religious part of things they always Christianity was what there four-fathers followed and i always wanted to show them their forefathers were really Muslims and how they became Christians. As you can see, Christian is my last name and i have doubt what so ever that, that name came from slavery. If i can find out what my last name really was i would really exercise its rights.
