Steve’s Barking; knowing family history

 Unfortunately I only know my American family history. Even ancestry.com can’t provide a true oral history. This should have been past down from generation to generation. It may not be as accurate as something like ancestry.com but it wouldn’t be as bland. 
 I know that my paternal grandparents came from Austria though it could have been Russia because the borders kept changing. I have a friend who’s family came from Germany, or did they really come from Prussia. I have another friend who’s family came Italy or did they really come from Roma. What about my African American friends, those DNA tests only give you a general idea what part of Africa they came from, it doesn’t say what what tribe( nation) that they came from, nor does it say who thre enslavers were.
 It’s too late to know the flowery history of our American ancestors.
