February is when we celebrate Black History Month. Throughout this month we will be posting resources to help with your African-American ancestral research, some available via NGS and some available elsewhere. Some will help you directly with your geneal ogy while others might educate you on relevant historical topics.
We’ll start off with this resource list posted this week at Geneal ogy Insider, the website for Family Tree Magazine.
If you have a favorite African-American research resource you’d like to see us mention, please drop a note to [email protected]
