PGS ~ The Unique Challenges of African-American Genealogy with Taneya Y. Koonce

Genealogy is the same the world around, yet there are some unique challenges when researching African American family history.  For example, specific strategies are required to identify and work with records before 1860 and locating identifiable names among government records can raise the difficulty level. Even though it can be challenging, it can also be rewarding. Especially if you plan to volunteer for community projects like our Clearwater Colored Cemeteries program.  We’ll provide research strategies to take you around the obstacles to help you find the records you seek. Presented by Taneya Y. Koonce.

This will be a hybrid meeting held in-person in the Meeting Room/Jenkins B and online via Zoom. Registration is only required for Zoom attendees.
