Genealogy Essentials:African-American Genealogy Part II: Next Steps
From 1565 to 1790, Africans surpassed Europeans among the roughly one million newcomers to what would become the United States. A majority of these nearly 360,000 men and women crossed in bondage. Centuries of local and federal laws related to the livelihood of black Americans have created a complex paper trail of genealogical research material.
This class will recommend next steps in the pursuit of African-American family history that might be useful after exhausting basic introductory resources.
