Just as captivating was the remarkably candid interview that accompanied it, in which the usually reserved Beyonce opened up about her black, white and mixed-race ancestors who hailed from Louisiana, in America’s Deep South, where a brutal slave trade flourished for nearly 150 years until abolition in the middle of the 19th century. Beyonce explains to Vogue that her family has had its ups and downs, particularly with relationships. Then she drops a fascinating bombshell: ‘I researched my ancestry recently and learned I come from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave.’It was a remarkable discovery, one the Mail has investigated further and found that she is indeed descended from slaves.
We have traced Beyonce’s family tree back to 1800 and found her great-great-great grandmother, a black slave called Rosalie Jean Louis who was born that year.

Are there any African American/Black people with such history? Are people able to extensively find this out?[/quote]
