Geneaology for People of Color
Geneaology Resources for People of Color
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.

Gettin' down to bizness
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
