Do you want to document your African American family’s story, but don’t know how to start? This workshop for beginners presented by Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc., Metro Atlanta Chapter will familiarize participants with African American Genealogy research tools and practices. Six sessions will be offered with a Q&A session at the end. Additionally, participants will complete family group sheets and maternal/paternal pedigree charts. Plus, you’ll see clips from the upcoming film The American Revolution before it airs November 16!  Light breakfast and lunch provided. Seating is limited and registration is required.
