This
week the 36th National Conference of the Afro American Historical
and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) will convene in Richmond, VA.
This
will be my second time attending the National Conference and I’m looking
forward to reconnecting with some of my genealogy buds.
While
in Richmond, I also hope to get some research done as well as hopefully meet
some newly discovered relatives, descendants of my great grand Aunt, who live
in Richmond.
As
usual, I will be bringing my trusty side-kick, that would be mom, with me.
Mom’s been having some issues of late, but I think it would do her a world of
good to get away for a few days. Plus, she seems to enjoy these activities as
much as I do, especially when she becomes engaged in a conversation with someone
and can reminisce about her childhood days.
While
at the Conference, I hope to do a bit of blogging and post some pictures, so be
on the lookout for those.
Hopefully,
by the end of the convention, provided life settles down, I’ll get re-energized to return to the hunt for the ancestors.
