I would assume that your family has been here much, much longer than a lot of other people's, and there are records - increasingly more available - for African Americans. Many genealogists are donating time to try to compile this information, especially in the last 20 years or so.
I can only trace back 4 generations because of the way Jews were treated in 19th century Europe. Anyway, within 10-20 years, we will all, thanks to advances in genetics, be able to trace our ancestry back hundreds, if not thousands of generations, and probably for not a lot of money. The future will be very interesting.
