This
picture was taken at our Developing Research Strategies Workshop that
was held at the National Archives (Southeast Branch) in Morrow, GA on
Saturday, March 17, 2012. See blog article entitled "Genealogy Workshop Tackles Family Murder."
WELCOME to the blog of the AAHGS-Metro Atlanta Chapter. We are a
chartered member of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc. The
purpose of this blog is to highlight the accomplishments of our organization
and its members, disseminate information about our activities and events, and
to share some genealogical jewels that will benefit all who are interested in
genealogy research.
This growing group was established in
February 2000 as a vehicle of exchange and support for genealogical research by
co-founders, Monica J. Hackney and Doris Posey, and a group of eight other
local genealogists, family historians, and novice researchers. Presently, we boast a growing membership of
over 100 members!
The major objectives of AAHGS-Metro
Atlanta Chapter are as follows:
·
To
provide a forum in the Metro Atlanta area for the sharing of historical and
genealogical information and research sources about African Americans.
·
To
organize workshops and a speakers' forum to meet the needs and interests of
chapter members.
·
To
compile research that will preserve African American history in the United
States.
Thank you for visiting, and we hope that
you will follow our blog and be informed about our exciting activities, as well
as many genealogical happenings!
