The concerns about COVID-19 are changing a lot of plans and AAGGKY is no exception. Federal, state and local guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html) are advising that groups not meet, if possible, so the decision has been made to substitute our usual meeting (face-to-face/sit-around-the-table/trade cousins, etc.) to an ONLINE (call-in/dial-in) MEETING. Since most of us have computers and/or cell phones, this should be an easy substitute.
Watch your emails and this space for details on program content and instructions on how to dial in to the programs. Stay safe and remember to wash your hands!

​Welcome to the web home of the
​African American Genealogy Group of Kentucky!

Also known as AAGGKY or simply, "The Group," we are a not-for-profit organization formed in 2011 by several like-minded individuals interested in the preservation of African American history and heritage in the Bluegrass.

Are you interested in learning about United States Colored Troops, slave records, conducting oral histories, or planning family reunions? So are we. Share our passion. Share your stories. Browse our site to learn more about our organization, upcoming events, what we offer and how you can join. ​

"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." ​
