Beyond the Basics of Genealogy – The Beyond Kin Project: Making the Slave Connection

Beyond the Basics of Genealogy – The Beyond Kin Project: Making the Slave Connection

Presented by Birmingham Public Library at Birmingham Public Library - Central Branch

Project co-founders Donna Cox Baker and Frazine K. Taylor will teach a software method and research techniques for handling the unique complexities of plantation genealogy. Descendants of both slaveholders and enslaved persons will learn how to find and account for the underdocumented and often nameless plantation members using common genealogy tools.

The program will be held in the Arrington Auditorium located on the fourth floor of the Linn-Henley Research Library.
