Dear Friends,

The last meeting of the Black Belt African American Genealogical and Historical Society (BBAAGHS) was a HUGE success! What a great turnout and an enthusuastic group.

The October meeting of BBAAGHS will be on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 10AM at the Divine Life Community Development Center, 905 Water Ave., Selma, AL 36701 (first street off the Pettus Bridge, turn left, go 2 blocks, white building on the right--formerly Southern Hub--at the corner of Water and Church).

The group's mission is the discovery, collection, organization and protection of the genealogy and history of African Americans in the Alabama Black Belt Region. Anyone with an interest in African American genealogy, family history or the preservation of historical sites in Alabama's Black Belt counties is welcome to attend.
