Explore Black Family History With Genealogist Sandra Taitt-Eaddy!

Description

Back by popular demand, acclaimed genealogist Sandra Taitt-Eaddy will lead a three-part virtual series beginning February 9, focused on African American and Caribbean genealogy. February is Black History Month, a great time to kick-start your own family history research or learn new sources and methods to help with your ongoing genealogy work!

Originally from Barbados, Sandra Taitt-Eaddy is a Greater Hartford-based genealogist, educator, and public speaker who is on a mission to help others experience the joys of family history research and, in her words, to “give voice to our ancestors who were neglected in the annals of history.” Sandra is a professional genealogist with over 25 years of genealogy experience, and she uses this knowledge to inspire others to discover as much as possible about their own histories. Her work has earned the Barbados Consul General’s “Change Award” and has been featured on PBS’s hit genealogy series Finding Your Roots, hosted by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
