Wow!! Talk about a snowpocalypse! The Washington D.C. metro area has just gotten hammered!! And supposedly there’s more on the way this week… Please check with the various societies and organizations that are hosting these programs to see if they are still being held as scheduled. Some may be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather.
Since February is Black History Month, we’re seeing quite a few African American Genealogy seminars and programs. If you can’t get out to any of these programs, check out Michael Hait’s work on the African American Genealogy Examiner.
