Know who you are before they have to tell you.
(Wolof Proverb)
Welcome. No doubt you expect the Internet to be a useful tool for finding
your folks, and you are in the right place to get started, at the AfriGeneas
website, host to the growing number of African Americans who are telling
their own family stories.
Since this may be your first effort, let me point
out how this wonderful tool, the Internet, can help you to have a successful
search. The Internet is a resource tool that will get you off to a good
start. It does not have the plentiful records that you will eventually find,
but it will save you a lot of time by directing you to where these records
are located.
