Introduction to African American Genealogy Research presented by Bryan L. Mulcahy

Introduction to African American Genealogy Research presented by Bryan L. Mulcahy. If you are looking to find your roots, understand where your family came from, or just want to find a family member you did not know you had this is the program for you. Family history can be hard to find without the right resources for people of all backgrounds. However, African American genealogy presents its own unique issues when going back further into the family tree.

When researching family history, making use of court records will eventually become a necessity.  Since most genealogical research is organized along county boundaries, researchers must educate themselves in knowing what records are available at American county courthouses.  This is especially true with reference to utilizing land/tax, probate, and vital records, which, in the opinion of many experts, are the three most important types of records for genealogical research in courthouse records.  This seminar will discuss the most useful strategies necessary for research success.
