Blockson's Black Genealogy (CH, Nov'77) and Ethnic Genealogy: A Research Guide, ed. by Jessie C. Smith (CH, Apr'84). The editor and chapter authors (De Witt Dykes Jr., Chris Nordmann, and Tony Burroughs) focus on basic genealogical research methods as they apply to African Americans, on records specific to African Americans, and on background information essential to research activity. A directory of genealogical information lists libraries, archives, private and public organizations, print resources, and other media holding sources valuable to African American research. Although extensive, the directory omits major repositories (e.g., Texas State Archives, Ohio Historical Society, and Maryland Hall of Records) with holdings specific to African Americans, and ignores useful government publications. Alphabetical indexes of authors, titles and organizations, and subjects facilitate access to the sourcebook essays. Recommended for record repositories, libraries, and researchers concentrating on genealogical research in combination with state and local history. F. R. Levstik; Kentucky Department for Libraries & Archives Summary This text provides historical genealogical data on African Americans. The book includes emigration history, genealogical records specific to African Americans, and a directory of genealogical information. Librarian's View Syndetics Unbound Displaying 1 of 1
