As we near the end of the year 2009, the African American Genealogy Examiner would like to look back and remember the accomplishments of the past year.I have enjoyed these past eight months writing the African American Genealogy Examiner. It has been a wonderful experience in sharing my knowledge and learning from others. I truly appreciate the warm community of Geneabloggers that has welcomed me into its ranks.
I look forward to continuing to write the African American Genealogy Examiner, and hope to inspire as much thought about genealogical issues and African-American history and heritage in 2010 as in these past eight months.
