Never thought I'd be a blogger but thankfully my ancestors got together with the ancestors of Luckie Daniels and they all guided me to the Facebook group African American Genealogy & Slave Ancestry Research. There I virtually met a seriously dedicated group of genealogy researchers. But above all I encountered Luckie, the Principal, who held all in the group to a higher standard. We may have done research on our families with piles of books, papers, & stories to prove it, but what good will all that work do (she prodded) when only the researcher can access the information. Luckie challenges all in the group to embrace technology in a way that others can see & access our work -- now and for future generations.
So I'm a baby blogger & quite proud of my progress so far, As long as I have "a reasonable portion of my health & strength", I intend to put forth my ancestors so others may know that they were here -- by utilizing technology. Thanks, Luckie!
You should be very proud of your blog. With the assistance and inspiration from Luckie, Felicia and the rest of the tribe, we all have excelled in reaching out to our ancestors, I can't until a couple of years from now and see where we all have progress from these past first few months. I hope to have at least a third of passion that Luckie has given to us with AAGSAR.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I hope we are leaving a blueprint for those who come after us.
