Just wanted to let those interested in African American research know. That Family Search at _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) home page, has a link to African American resources. From what I can tell, it appears that African American records are some of those being put online for free. It also states that they will be having topics (basically classes) that can be downloaded. Helping to learn more about researching this ever so hard ancestry. Mark this site as one of your favorites and see the changes happening. You wont be disappointed. For others researching their families, you will also want to save this site as a favorite because "actual primary records pertaining to ancestors" will soon be available as indexing of areas are completed. If you are interested in helping the progress of this project, go to the above mentioned website to learn more. Note: you can choose records to index that pertain to the area your ancestors are located in. Please note: that there will be no charge for accessing the records. Good Luck with all your research!
