Sorry for any multiple recipients but this is important! A brand new USGenWeb Project has been started specifically for African-American research. All states are represented. There is a Surname List as well as other research tools on the site. Please visit and support the site. The goal of USAAG is to become a centralized location for African American research thru out the United States. The address is http://www.rootsweb.com/~afamer/index.html Please pay them a visit and contribute anything you can to the available records! Even a link to your own research site might help someone else! African-American Research is extremely difficult because of the lack of historical records before the Civil War. Hopefully this project will be of some help to researchers of those of African-American ancestry and those just interested in history for the love of history!
