African American Genealogy

Welcome to the African American Genealogy Group of Kentucky, also known as AAGGKY or simply "The
Group".

Interested in learning about the U.S. Colored Troops, African American websites, slave records, conducting oral histories or planning family reunions?  So are we.  Share our passion.  Share your stories.  Join us.

The AAGGKY meets monthly on Third Saturdays.  We gather at easily accessible places usually in Central Kentucky.  Our meetings are FREE and open to the public.  

Members share their research experiences and offer tips and techniques unique to conducting Black genealogical research in Kentucky. 

We hold workshops, round table discussions, sponsor events and speakers highlighting topics of interest to those researching Kentucky's African American generations.

The AAGGKY...sharing our stories.
"I too am of the hills, my folks have
corn rowed tobacco, laid track, strip
mined, worshipped and whiskied from Harlan
to Maysville, old Dunbar to
Central...We put the heat in the hot brown and gave
it color. 
Indeed some of the bluegrass is
black."
