You are right to investigate your origins since nobody will do this for you.<br /><br />Likely your ancestors were West Africans which narrows the scope of your investigation somewhat. The groups that you might consider are Ashanti, Igbo, Diara, Takrur, Djolof, Mamprussi, Borgu, Dendi, Oyo, Yoruba, Igala, Kwararafa, Kano, Wagadugu, Mane, Fante, and Ibo. <br /><br />The Arabs sold Jews and the Jews sold Arabs. Slavery was a widespread practice in ancient times. Usually these were people captured in war or kidnapped. Africans sold Africans from enemy tribes. All of this has been documented by historians.<br /><br />The idea that African-Americans are descendants of the Jews is a theory with little support. Where some Jews black? Yes. Some were brown, others were reddish brown. Today many are white because the European Jews intermarried with Gentile Europeans. White Jews dominate the State of Israel which is guilty of reproductive crimes against Ethiopian Jewish woman. See this: <br />http://college-ethics.blogspot.com/2013/02/israels-abuse-of-ethiopian-women.html<br /><br />You can find out if you are of Semitic lineage by having a DNA test. If four of your grandparents were born in Africa, the test is free.

It is post- exilic and we have no evidence that the post-exilic Jews had the Ephod or that they used it for inquiring of God.Alice C.

Were these people refugees, as claimed, their ancestors were Kushites, so they were returning to the region of their ancestors.Alice C.

Perhaps then they left the Assyrian Empire around the time of 612BC when it collapsed.ADELAMIhttp://yemitom.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
