About Us:
The  AAGGKY is the first of its kind in Kentucky.  Organized in January 2011, The Group focuses on aspects of research unique to the Black community.  The AAGGKY provides a venue for researchers, historians, both black and white, to share their strategies and findings.  The Group seeks to fill the void created where the histories of Black Kentuckians have been omitted or inadequately researched and recorded.  Towards that goal, membership is open and inclusive to all those researching the stories of Kentucky’s African American generations. 
“Our stories are often hidden in un-indexed volumes, stored forgotten on dusty shelves and omitted from the traditional history books of our country. With every passing minute we are losing our histories to death, memory loss, and record destruction.  Our group, the African-American Genealogy Group, is attempting to minimize this loss…to save our history and pass it on.”

The AAGGKY meets monthly on Third Saturdays.  To maximize involvement, the meetings are being held in varying sites in Central Kentucky. In 2011, we met in Woodford, Scott, Franklin, Jessamine, Clark and Mercer Counties.  Our 2012 calendar has meetings tentatively scheduled in Fayette, Madison, Bourbon, Jessamine, Jefferson, and Scott counties.
