SUMMARY:General Meeting (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Exploring Genealogical Resources from the Bureau of Refugees\, Freedmen\, and Abandoned Lands \nSpeaker: Dr. Shelley Viola Murphy \nDescription: In this session\, Dr. Murphy will delve into the valuable genealogical resources provided by the Bureau of Refugees\, Freedmen\, and Abandoned Lands\, commonly known as the Freedmen’s Bureau. Established after the Civil War\, the Bureau played a pivotal role in assisting newly freed African Americans by providing food\, housing\, education\, and legal support. For genealogists\, the records created by the Bureau offer a treasure trove of information\, including marriage records\, labor contracts\, and records of complaints and disputes\, all of which are invaluable for tracing African American ancestry during the Reconstruction era. This session will equip you with strategies to effectively navigate these challenges and maximize the potential of the Freedmen’s Bureau records in your genealogical research. \n\nBio: An avid genealogist for over 30+ years Dr. Murphy\, aka\, “familytreegirl” presents genealogy workshops at local\, state and national genealogy conferences. She holds membership in AAHGS NGS\, APG\, DAR\, and local genealogy groups. Murphy\, is known for her inspiring & interactive “SO WHAT” with genealogy research\, along with interesting problem-solving methodology lectures. Murphy is also a coordinator and instructor at the Midwest African American Genealogy Institute (MAAGI) and serves on the Boards of the Library of Virginia.
