Program Description

Event Details

Genealogical research for African Americans can be challenging and requires some creativity when deciding what resources and records to search for information. This is largely due to the fact that millions of African Americans are descended from slaves. This makes the process more challenging but not impossible. The purpose of this seminar is to provide researchers with some of the basic tools and resources to begin their search. Attendees will be provided with a detailed study guide that includes facts, research tips, Internet and YouTube tutorials and links to supplement the lecture. ​
