Family Ties That Unite US
In order to honor the contribution of African Americans have made to their communities the ‘FamilySearch’ Center of Tacoma is hosting a FREE workshop and FREE lunch focusing on strategies on how to find records and information on African American ancestry.
This year the keynote speaker will be Ethelda Burke, former Tacoma Schools educator who currently serves on the University Place School Board. Additional presentations will focus on how to start building a family history and the unique connections between African Americans and Native Americans. There will also be specialists available to answer individual questions.
Thanks to the partnership between FamilySearch International, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society the historical records of over 4 million men, women and children of African descent are now searchable online, without cost. This workshop will teach you how to use these data bases, as well as other free online resources to build your family story.
