A Guide for African Americans Tracing Their Roots (Special events)
4:00 pm to 5:00 pm Virtual
Sponsored by AARP Ohio will be led by African American genealogy educators Kenyatta D. Berry and Deborah A. Abbott, Ph.D., and will offer guidance on how to overcome what’s known as the 1870 Brick Wall, a reference to the fact that censuses taken before the 1870 census did not identify people who had been enslaved by name. The presentation will help you understand what information you should look for to aid you on your journey, and where to find the information. It also will give you an opportunity to get your questions answered.
Attendees will receive a copy of “The Family Tree Toolkit: A Comprehensive Guide to Uncovering Your Ancestry and Researching Genealogy,” by Kenyatta D. Berry, while supplies last.
This event is FREE to everyone; you need not be an AARP member. But registration is REQUIRED. Please do not opt out of event-related emails, as you will be emailed a link to join the presentation via Zoom prior to the event. Here's a link for more info: https://local.aarp.org/aarp-event/genealogy-201-african-american-roots-dqnlcd2g8kg.html

In this session you'll learn what it takes to prove a lineage, and how to handle conflicting information or multiple potential matches. To hear this delightful speaker, or for more information about our programs, contact CCGS. Phone: 360-417-5000; webpage: www.clallamcogs@askus.org or email: clallamresearcher@gmail.com
