New African-American Genealogy Database Coming This Fall
Posted by Diane
If you're researching African-American roots, look for a new database this fall from ProQuest, creator of the HeritageQuest Online genealogy service (available free to patrons of subscribing libraries).
ProQuest African-American Heritage will combine records with research guidance.
Records will include censuses, slave and freedmen records; birth, marriage and death records; church records; court and legal records; genealogies and family histories. Other than the US census and Freedman’s Savings Bank & Trust Co.
records (both also are in HeritageQuest Online), ProQuest didn’t name
specific records.
Social networking tools come from AfriGeneas, a popular Web site and forum on African-American genealogy; an exclusive version of the classic guide Black Genesis by James M. Rose and Alice Eichholz (Genealogical Publishing Co.); and other reference books.
For more information about ProQuest African-American Heritage, to watch a video and to sign up for a notification e-mail when the service is released, visit ProQuest's Web site.
