9:53Now PlayingAs African Americans, following our lineage isn't as simple as checking the Mayflower registry or going to Ellis Island.
Our family trees tend to have a lot of missing branches thanks to slavery, our ancestors not being able to read and write or the lack of care to document our existence in the past. Websites like Ancestry.com are putting more of those answers at our fingertips, but the process can still be daunting and feel impossible.
Nicka Sewell-Smith, a photographer and documentarian, joins "Start Your Day" to guide you through it.
