Highlight: African American Genealogy Research Center

The Center for African American Genealogy Research, Inc.
www.caagri.org
Established in 2004, The Center for African American Genealogy Research is a non-profit organization that exists in order to provide access to online information and to provide a space for genealogy groups and societies to share information and resources. The Center seems to operate solely online while providing access to free online databases, information about physically endangered African American historical real-life sites, information about little known African and African American historically significant figures, and online classes on using census and military records. The Center also provides an extensive Research Tips section on topics such as church records, nicknames, Native American relationships, interview questions, and libraries just to name a few.
