The African-American Genealogy Group of Philadelphia will have it next
monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 11, 2004, 7-9 pm, at the Community College
of Philadelphia, West Philadelphia Regional Branch, 4725 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, PA.

Our speaker will be our own Shamele Jordon, current Recording Secretary and
Webmaster for AAGG. Her topic will be "Freedmen's Bureau Field Office
records: roll lists and record types" This brief session will introduce you
to the NARA records of the field offices of the BRFAL. These records cover
the years of 1865 - 1871 and are of high genealogical value to the family
history reseacher studying Confederate States. Some of these records are
available on microfim at the NARA in Philadelphia. Research forms will be
provided to aid in locating and logging Reconstruction era ancestors.

This will also be a "Meet the Candidates" nite, with a brief presentation
from each of those running for office, President, Vice-President, Recording
Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer - our elections will be
held at our June meeting. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor.

Everyone is invited. There are no costs to the public for this event.

Free parking is available in the rear lot of CCP at 48th and Ludlow
