do black people trace their ancestry to a specific country in Africa or is the documentation to accurately do so just not exist?
A very select few can trace their lineage to the exact country, but, yeah, for the majority there's just no documentation to know for sure. Hence, the generic "African," nomenclature.

Maybe not by names, but DNA can pinpoint the area of probable origin. This is a "deep search" whereas genealogy is recent and not 100% reliable for anyone.
