NEW FamilySearch African Heritage e-Newsletter

FamilySearch has recently formed an African Heritage team focused solely on helping people of African descent, wherever they are in the world, discover their family and connect with their homeland. Members of the African American Genealogical Society of Northern California (AAGSNC) may choose to opt-in to be informed of the progress in these efforts. The link below will take everyone to a Google form where you can provide your information and choose to opt-in to a quarterly email blast from FamilySearch.
