We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we navigate these unseasonably icy waters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome join us with guest speaker Andrew Thompson as he discusses: Lessons Learned from my African American Genealogy Research: There is Something for Everybody In this presentation. Mr. Thompson will review the best practices and lessons learned during his discovery of over 50 enslaved relatives. These tips transcend the niche of AfricanAmerican Genealogy and will provide practical advice for researchers in all areas of Genealogy.  \n\n\n\nAbout Andrew Thompson\n\n\n\nMr. Thompson is an avid genealogist with extensive experience in the historical South Carolina Lowcountry. Andrew’s experiences includes research for many clients and genealogists from beginning through advanced levels.
