RESEARCHING ANCESTORS IN THE ERA OF FREEDOM

The end of the Civil War was a time of great upheaval for both blacks and whites, but luckily for genealogists, many of the records produced during this time can be invaluable for overcoming brick walls in their family history research. In honor of Black History Month, the Georgia Heritage Room will host a free Legacy Family Tree webinar with Ms. Angela Walton-Raji, professional genealogist and founding member of Afrigeneas.com. The webinar will take place in the third floor computer lab of the main library at 823 Telfair Street on Wednesday, February 10th at 2:00 pm. Ms. Walton-Raji will discuss post-Civil War records, where they can be found, and their usefulness to family historians. She will also be available via Skype following the webinar to answer any questions. Space is limited so please call 706-826-1511 to register.
