African American Genealogy

When it comes to studying this particular branch of North American genealogy, there are a variety of obstacles involved. However, with enough effort, you can find the answers you’re looking for.

African American Genealogy isn’t as difficult as it seems. Begin by studying your own immediate family tree. You can find lots of information by simply talking to your parents and grandparents. You can also consult church records, newspapers, wills and more.



If you have a specific relative in mind, maintain as much information pertaining to your ancestor as possible. Learn the state and county where he or she lived. If possible, list any addresses where he or she may have moved to. Learn maiden names as well as the names of any children your ancestor may have had or adopted.

However, keep in mind that not all official census records are accurate. Furthermore, once you’ve learned your ancestor’s full name and place of birth, you may find yourself overwhelmed as you encounter a plethora of indistinguishable names to struggle with.

You can help narrow down your search by looking up data that is specific to your family history. This is where finding newspapers from the time period you’re searching in can be very useful.

Also consult any deeds, diaries, letters, family photos, and other more personal sources of information. Courthouse records may also provide you with essential information that you might not find anywhere else, such as marriage certificates, birth certificates, and death certificates.

These personal details are a crucial part of US genealogy and may mean the difference between becoming lost and stumbling upon the epiphany you’ve been searching for.

Once you have established a thorough family record, you should familiarize yourself with the history of the United States. This is an important and often overlooked step in discovering African-American genealogy. In studying the history of African-Americans in the 1890s, for example, you may get a better idea of period-related norms and events that may have affected your ancestor’s life and decisions.

If you find yourself growing frustrated, don’t give up. You aren’t alone in your search. There are a variety of sources for you to choose from, both online and off.

For example, libraries can be immensely useful. Not only will they contain information that is pertinent to the history of the time period you’re researching, but they can provide you with resources that can help immensely toward your African-American genealogy research, such as insurance records, county boundaries, pedigree charts, periodicals, plantation records, and more.

The internet also provides a wealth of help, though it’s a good idea to be sure the sources you use are legitimate. However, not only does the internet allow you to interact with others who are researching their own American genealogy, but it also gives you the opportunity to post a query containing a thorough description of your ancestor. Others may be able to give you advice and information you may have never learned otherwise.
