Here is some African American Genealogy information for you all that Guy wanted me to share:


"Free webinar now online - Best Internet Resources for African American Genealogy"
If you do NOT have African American ancestry, you need to watch the recording of yesterday's webinar - that's how good it was. Angela Walton-Raji's enthusiasm and knowledge about the topic really brought it to life. One of our viewers (Judy) commented "after watching today, I sure wish I had African American genealogy to do - it was fantastic!" I completely agree.

The webinar was much more than a demonstration of the best websites. For someone who knows nothing about getting started, Angela also gave a quick review of the basic steps for African American genealogy.
