I just read a wonderfully powerful story. One that would not have been possible with out photographs. The heroine of the story is Annie Correal, a reporter for the New York Times. I am so happy that she took the time to rescue this precious photo album and return it to the family members it was connected to. It was quite a lengthy search.
I hope that the photographs I take today, will continue to tell the story of my family. It’s also a cautionary tale about labeling pictures with dates, full names and locations.
Read it for yourself and tell me what you think.
Love & Black Lives

I am a part-time blogger and a full time observer of people and culture. I have been researching my family history for over 20 years. I previously served as President and President-Elect (Vice-President) of the Indiana African American Genealogy Group (IAAGG). I am currently the Central District Director of the Indiana Genealogical Society. I’ve conducted genealogy lectures and training's for corporate organizations and family history centers. I have researched my maternal and paternal sides going back 7 generations. With all that work, there is still more to discover.
My current genealogical goals are to submit to libraries and history centers, family history books covering several of my family lines.
I am available for consultations and speaking engagements.
