The scientist in me kind of wants to figure out how to even do this. If you just go back to great-great-great grandparents, that's already 32 people. Do you figure it based on a % of them that were slaves? Some people will be related to both slaves and slave owners. Do you get more if you had family members that were slaves for several generations? Good luck finding reliable information before the early 20th century also.
