African-American Genealogy

Researching your family tree can be a fascinating journey. For Americans of African descent, that journey can contain many twists, turns, and challenges, as the documents and family stories that stitch generations together may not have been recorded in the first place or even actively suppressed. Nonetheless, the strength and beauty of Black family heritage shines down through the generations.

Join speakers Alvis Ward Jr. and Felicia Addison, both of the African-American Genealogical Society of Northern California (AAGSNC) for a fascinating primer on the particular joys and challenges of researching African-American family histories.

This program is in honor of the 2021 Black History Month theme, The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity.
