Finding Your Roots

"Today is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it."

I was inspired to renew my membership with the Black Genealogy Research Group of Seattle after attending an outstanding presentation given by Horace H. Foxall, Jr., a retired architect and historian. 

His talk was on the ,Rosenwald Schools started in 1928 by Booker T. Washington & Julius Rosenwald. the founder of Sears.

Several members of the group have been able to trace their families back 4-5 generations. I have just started my family research but am encouraged; it's much easier now with the internet. A good friend just had her DNA tested.That will be my next step.

It's very exciting and I'm looking forward to finding out more about my immediate family and my ancestors.
