In partnership with the African American Historical & Genealogical Society of Pittsburgh, this workshop will focus on family migration stories and genealogical research methods useful for piecing together family histories.
The phrase “Great Migration” refers to the period between 1916 and 1940 when an estimated six million African-Americans left the poverty and racial discrimination of the rural South hoping to have a better life in northern cities like Pittsburgh.
Genealogist and family historians are using methods and techniques to recapture those relatives that braved the migration and start anew in new spaces with new faces.
