The Allen County Library is the second largest genealogy repository in America, with more than 350,000 printed volumes, 513,000 items of microfilm and microfiche, and access to important databases including ProQuest’s African American Heritage database. Allen County is undeniably a treasure trove for family researchers. You don’t want to miss this trip!
The cost of the trip is $30 per person for IAAGG members, $35 for nonmembers. Spaces must be reserved in advance. The deadline for reservations and payment is August 31. Register at IAAGG’s upcoming meetings, from noon to 3 pm, June 19, July 17 and August 21, at the Indiana State Library in downtown Indianapolis. Otherwise, contact indplsaagenegroup@yahoo.com to make other arrangements.
This trip will happen in lieu of IAAGG’s regular September meeting. To help genealogists prepare for our journey to Fort Wayne, IAAGG’s July and August meetings will focus on preparing for on-site research.

The Indiana African American Genealogy Group has a blog--stop by http://iaagg.blogspot.com for the latest genealogy news!
The Indiana African American Genealogy Group was established in 1999. The group was created by family researchers of all experience and interest levels. Today our group skill levels range from those who are experienced genealogists and family historians. Our vision--to discover and document the African ancestry in each family--lives through each person with whom we share, inform, and encourage everyone we touch. All are welcome!
