WorkshopsFREE Genealogy WorkshopsFootprints and RootsWatkins Nature center, 8:30 am-4 pmLectures and workshops on African American genealogy and historySponsored By the Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc. and their partners Where did you come from? Are your roots in Maryland, the Carolinas, the West Indies, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, South America, or elsewhere? Were your ancestors part of a great migration northward or westward within the United States or were they immigrants from another country? If you know, come and share your research strategies. If you don’t know, learn how to find your ancestors at the annual “Footprints and Roots” Juneteenth Celebration Seminar. You can attend one or all three genealogy sessions. There will be a mid-day break in the workshops so that participants can enjoy some of the musical entertainment.
