Many of our ancestors followed the North Star to Freedom.
We, their children will never be free until our roots are as much
a part of us as the air we breathe. Sever a tree's roots, and the
tree dies. Sever a people's roots and they are lost.For african americans,
the search for our roots can be a difficult and daunting task.
Some of us jump on the geneaology train, only to be de-railed by
missing records, incomplete information, and lack of knowledge.
Where do I begin?
What resources are there?
Where did my elders come from?
The purpose of this site is to create a stepping stone for seekers.

Now that you have a few geneaology tools under your belt,
it's time to get down to business.
Remember:
Social Security Death Index is a great way to start modern searches.
The Freedman's Bureau is another.
Join a geneaology discussion group or two. Hundreds of people
are out there, just like you. They have information to share,
laugh and weep over.
Good Luck
