Hello again,
Tip for Friday:
The following site was described in the Genealogy Online, 6th Edition.
(author elizabeth powell crowe)
Library of Congress:
"The mission of the LOC at
www.loc.gov is to make the resources available and
useful to the Congress and the American People and to sustain and preserve a
universal collection of knowledge and creativity for the future generations."
To this end, since its founding in 1800, LOC has amassed more than 100
million items and become one of the world's leading cultural insitutions. The
LOC web site, makes a small portion of the LOC's contents available to the
world through the internet. "
Ya'll can take a gander at:
WWW.LOC.GOV
After the page opens, click on the "American Memory" icon on the left of the
seal, then just explore and see what they have. There is supposedly a section
in here named African American Odyssey, I didn't see it right off, but it is
supposed to be a good resource for researching African American Roots.
I have checked it out a little.. but have not had too much time to play
there.
Ya'll let me know if it seems to be a good place to bookmark!
'I'll be back on Monday! Ya'll have a great weekend!

outburst of emotion,
but the tranquil and steady
dedication of a lifetime."
