Rooting Around in the Past, Why genealogy can be painful
An open letter to Raina Kelley


Hello Dear Raina Kelley,

I read your article, "Rooting Around in the Past, Why genealogy can be painful", with great interest.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/218065

I was struck by your statement that "But when genealogists researched my family, they couldn't find anything earlier than the 1910 census."

I would challenge that, given enough accurate information, any African Ancestored Genealogist could find your people at least back to the 1870 census.
The cream of the crop of African Ancestored Genealogists can trace your roots back beyond 1870.

I'm a family historian and genealogist - and an evangelist for African Ancestored Genealogy. From my base in Santa Fe, New Mexico I can reach from the West Coast to the East Coast
and places in between to other professional African Ancestored Genealogists that can assist you in finding your people.

If you are serious in learning your roots, there are African Ancestored Genealogists that I can hook you up with.

You are not alone, you have an extended family, of spirited, dedicated and professional researchers that will help you in finding your Ancestors.

What say you?
Can I/we be of assistance?

Ordinary Men, Extaordinary History
Pullman Porters


They made beds and cleaned toilets. They shined shoes, dusted jackets, cooked meals and washed dishes. Yet the Pullman porters created history in the face of adversity and racial prejudice. Read more: http://ow.ly/CLWq
