We are part of AAHGS, a national non-profit membership organization of diverse individuals and more than 30 Chapters committed to the preservation of the history, genealogy and culture of African-ancestored populations of the local, national and international communities.
Chapter members live in the “ATL” area and elsewhere, ranging in expertise from beginners to published authors, who research any locality -- not just Georgia.
