Join us in examining historical issues related to the experiences of families of African lineage who have emerged out of the overlapping contexts, and offer the best route to researching African American families across time and space.

Therefore, to unearth clues, we will investigate how best to search for ancestors of those time periods as well as the historical content surrounding life during that time.
