For the third year, the
African American Genealogical Society of Northern California and
Oakland FamilySearch Library are presenting a
Black Family History Day
in honor of
Black History Month. This year's event will take place Sunday, February 10, from 1:00-5:00
p.m. at the Oakland FamilySearch Library, 4766 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland. As usual, the event is free, but you are encouraged to register for a free
consultation, either through the Web site or by calling (877) 884-2843. This is particularly important for the February event, as we usually have more attendees during Black History Month.
When people arrive they will
register, then beginners will go to a short introductory workshop and have guidance in filling out a basic four-generation family
chart, and then some one-on-one assistance in research and looking for information
on their families. Intermediate researchers and those who already have some solid information on their families will register and go straight to the one-on-one research.
I've invited some friends again who have said they want to get going on their own family history research. I'm looking forward to seeing them and everyone else next Sunday!
