​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." ​
