Confronting History

Below is a link to an article by Imani Perry. It speaks to the challenges of researching ancestry when you are descended from enslaved people.

I hope after reading the essay it encourages you to begin or continue your research.

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.
