African American History and Genealogy Seminar

This has been an interesting summer. During August I did a seminar in Kansas City, Kansas discussing the history of Africans and African Americans, as well as the history of African American families. The history of Africans goes back 100,00 to 200,00 years, which makes this history the oldest of all human beings. There are Africans mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The history of African in North America extends back at least 3,000 to 4,000 years. The history of enslaved Africans extends to the mid 1500s.

When there is discussion of African Americans, the history is extensive, very interesting, and saddening, but we African Americans have survived and can do very well now and in the future. Most of the African Americans during the years of enslavement had life so much more difficult than we have now and are our past ancestors that we should learn about.

KNOW YOUR ROOTS: Your Family Tree Seminar

I will do a presentation in the near future. Everyone is welcome to attend. The title of the presentation is KNOW YOUR ROOTS: Your Family Tree. The purpose of the presentation is for persons in attendance to discuss, learn, and have fun discussing the history of African Americans and even more each person will learn how to do their own family history.

The Presentation will be Saturday August 22, 2009 from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM in Love Fellowship Center at 1723 Quindaro in Kansas City, Kansas. The cost is only $5.00/person. Refreshments will be provided and you may arrive a little early to meet me and socialize with the others who will attend.

Update

The last few months I have been busy with all types of things. Now I have more time to do things related to genealogy and family history. Opportunities have opened up for me to speak around the area. I will inform you of my speeches ahead of time as well as other genealogy and family history activities.
