description: A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your African-American Ancestors provides easy, step-by-step instruction for researching slave and free black ancestors pre- and post-Civil War. More than an exhaustive list of resources, this book draws a map to guide researchers, whether novice or experienced, through the genealogical wilderness to their ancestors long forgotten. It introduces readers to a systematic approach that should help eliminate months or years of aimless wondering. And, the unique and winning combination in authors - an African-American who can relate his research experience into black slave family history and a white slave-owning family who were also his ancestors, and a best-selling, nationally recognised genealogical author - will make this book stand out among the rest.
