DNA test. I used www.familytreedna.com. They sent me a kit with 2 swabs that I used to rub the inside of my cheeks, sent the kit back, they sent me a printout listing the different (modern) nations where my ancestors came from. I also have access to a website with DNA matches on my Mom's side and on my Dad's side.
Basically, my ancestors came from all over the globe; 6 continents and lots of islands in the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, etc.
Another site is www.africanancestry.com or www.dnatribes.com or www.dnaancestryproject.com

I needed to STOP... and feel LONG & HARD approximately why you might make a connection with Snoop. I used to be asking myself, "When has he ever proven any bias closer to precise avid gamers considering the fact that in their race/nationality---OHHH!" LOL. I wager I'm colorblind. I feel Snoop is well folks and I in no way situated that on whatever however his phrases. Anyway, ethnicity/race/nationality does not play a aspect in who I root for in any respect. However, I DO love the way in which Finns play hockey... and I simply have a Finn factor, I feel. Don't ask. Haha.

The best way I know for you to learn about your roots is to:

Build your family tree on line.
You can do this for free on:
http://www.tribalpages.com/
Start with yourself, then attach living family members.
Find out all you can about you family from living members, then attach it to your tree.
Now it is time to look for historical records and attach the info to your tree:

It is ALL about census records, and other historical records!

You might get lucky and others may have done some work on your family tree. Google family members names i.e. "Mary Smith" + "family tree"

Free sites:

http://www.censusrecords.net/?o_xid=27399&o_lid=27399

http://www.census.gov/

http://www.familysearch.org/

ECT.
The time may come when you want more information than you can find for free. When this happens you can back up your "tribalpage" tree to your computer on a "GEDCOM" file
you can then go to (I think it is the best subscription site)

http://www.ancestry.com/

Upload your "GEDCOM" file
and start to work!
You might need to make a few adjustments to your tree to make it look better.
