African-American Genealogy Workshop
February 1, 2014 |
February 1: 10:00-2:00 pm.
Historic records that clarify African-American genealogical connections are often vague, incomplete, or missing altogether, posing complications and obstacles for researchers. From 10:00 a.m. - noon, genealogy experts will be on hand for personal assistance on research projects. At noon John Baker, historian and author of The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation: Stories of My Family’s Journey to Freedom, will discuss the journey that led him to find his own ancestors, who were enslaved in Robertson County, Tennessee.
Admission to this event is FREE.
Black History Month provides the Hermitage with a special opportunity to examine, explore, and share stories of its enslaved people to a wide audience.
