African American Genealogy
Special | 5m 20s
The Wisconsin Historical Society has resources to help African American genealogists.
February is black history month, but for African Americans tracing their roots is difficult at best. There simply aren't the kinds of records that many other genealogists rely on. Reporter Andy Soth introduces us to some Wisconsin African Americans who are also interested in tracing their roots, and shows us how the Wisconsin Historical Society is helping.
