Family Legacies: Conversations with authors of a new book by the New York Chapter of the Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society

Documents, artifacts, research, oral history, recollections and love are at the core of this genealogical odyssey entitled Family Legacies: A Three Generation Project. Throughout its pages, fifteen authors, all members of the Jean Sampson Scott Greater New York Chapter of the Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society, collaborate to explore the indomitable spirit of their ancestors whose faith, strength, tenacity and talent allowed them to rise above centuries of struggle and sacrifice to forge remarkable legacies for their descendants. Their stories illustrate life in various American states and the Caribbean islands.
