Alex Haley won a Pulitzer Prize for the novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family.
It is possible that Alex Haley has living ancestors in West Africa, as his roots trace back to the Gambia region. However, the extent to which specific living descendants can be traced back is uncertain due to gaps in historical records and genealogy. Researching and confirming living descendants in West Africa would require thorough genealogical investigation.

Some cultures that trace their descent through the mother's family line include the Hopi and Iroquois tribes of Native Americans, as well as some Jewish communities where Jewish identity is determined by the mother's lineage.

If you are Jewish, you may be able to trace your family tree back far enough to connect with one of the numerous genealogies provided throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible -- if you are not Jewish, then this will prove more challenging, as you will have to independently trace your family back pre-Abraham to find a match on any of the Biblical genealogies to trace your family back to Adam (unless you happen to be a descendant of Ishmael) -- although there are also many independent genealogies leading back to Adam outside of the Bible.
