Family, today I speak with LaJoy Mosby, the current President of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS).

We talked about the organization, the projects they're working on, and their upcoming 2023 National Conference. It is 100% virtual.

The conference is scheduled for October 18-21, 2023. Register for the conference as soon as possible by visiting www.aahgs.org.

You can also join in on their current project transcribing records for African American Navy Sailors who served in the Civil War.

I'm so excited to FINALLY get this podcast going and bring you all some great stories, resources, and guests to help you on your research journey. In this inaugural episode, I share my personal journey into genealogy research and how I went from being disinterested to fully immersed in uncovering my family's history. 

From attending genealogy conferences to DNA testing, I recount the pivotal moments that inspired me to explore my roots and connect with long-lost relatives. I shared my transformation from a disinterested observer to a passionate family researcher. 

Inspired by conferences, DNA testing, and the support of my wife, I delved into my family's past and discovered rich stories and connections. I hope my journey inspires you to begin your own exploration of your family history. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we'll bring in guests to share their incredible genealogical stories.
