I am thrilled to announce the arrival of our new genealogy carnival -- the Carnival of African-American Genealogy (CoAAG) and so excited to host its 1st Edition -- Restore My Name Slave Records & Genealogy Research!

The show of support from the genea-community has been nothing short of AMAZING!

CoAAG's 1st Edition features 35 submissions from a diverse group of contributors! Represented in this historic Carnival offering are contributions from descendants of slaves, slave owners and free-men. We are Yankees and Southerners alike, seasoned GeneaBloggers and Newbies to the fold!

We're a blended community of descendants who have made the choice to heal history, rather than hide from it. I cannot say it enough how very proud of us I am.

With the arrival of CoAAG, we have made HISTORY my Friends! Never before has there been an open dialogue and exchange of slave data between descendants from both sides of slavery's history. We're breaking new ground for sure!

Thank you for supporting the Carnival of African-American Genealogy and if you missed this opportunity no worries, CoAAG will continue to roll into town every month moving forward on the 19th, so mark your calendars!

There is no better time to join the genea-discussion than NOW!

We are the change!:-)
