Welcome to the Indiana African American Genealogy Group (IAAGG)

The Indiana African American Genealogy Group (IAAGG), established in 1999, was created by researchers of all experience and interest levels. Today our group’s skill levels range from those who are experienced genealogists to newly interested 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.

We execute our mission by promoting the accumulation and preservation of African American genealogical and historical materials; uniting all individuals who want to share in the growth of African American genealogy; fostering and encouraging family research through education, transcribing documents for public use and contributions to repositories; and promoting community awareness of the importance of family history and preservation.

We invite you to join us in our quest to preserve and promote personal black histories. Our group meets from 12 to 2 p.m., on the third Saturday of each month. Currently, due to COVID-19, all meetings are virtual.

Stay tuned each month for the program agenda and the virtual Zoom link.
