Robyn,

"Pearl's Secret: A Black Man's search for his white family", by Neil Henry; copyright 2001; University of California Press, is a well written and engaging book.

There was a bit of controversy concerning Mr. Henry's motives for writing this book; stemming from the promotional texts and reviews.

The Family, here, at Afrigeneas was in the mix!
Just do a search in the Discuss Forum.

I've read it and I recommend it. It illustrates what it takes to do some genealogical research.

If we can get several members interested, perhaps we can have a 'Book Discussion' here.

Peace
