A beginner's workshop in tracing your African American tree was held at the Main Library on Saturday, February 8, 2003

Antoinette Harrell-Miller, author of You Are My Shadow: The Harrell's Genealogy and Historical Identity and founder of African American Genealogy Connection, Inc. facilitated this year's African American genealogy workshop.

"Setting up a family organization or association is the best way to make family reunions, newsletters, book and information sharing possible," says Harrell-Miller who brought along this display of information about the Harrell family.

Two Harrell family members and the document that records their inclusion in the Choctaw Council.

Following the program, Mrs. Harrell-Miller gives some added pointers to two audience members who are ready to begin their family search.
