AGS Now Offers Free Research Assistance to its Members!
We are all so excited to offer free research assistance to our AGS members, and especially to our members who are trying to qualify for a First Families of Alabama (FFA) Certificate by verifying their lineage to an ancestor who lived in the present boundaries of Alabama prior to Statehood on 14 December 1819.
Specifically, THIS service is to help an AGS member solve just one problem. For example, have you reached a brick wall and can’t find the wife of a 3rd great grandfather? Or need a specific document to verify lineage to qualify for an FFA Certificate? Our experienced genealogists who serve on our new Research Assistance Committee can help you!
The Research Assistance Committee consists of the following people:
1. Suzanna Rawlins, Committee Chair
2. Ethel Alexander, specializing in African American Research (President Black Heritage Council & Birmingham African American Genealogy Group)
3. Brenda Henry
4. Laura Hurst
5. Jyl Hardy, FFA Special Advisor (AGS Director, First Families of Alabama)
Our genealogy research experts are standing ready to help you! Email your family history question to Suzanna Rawlins. Your case will then be assigned to one of our genealogists who will contact you to obtain the details of your request.
Also, as a service to its members, we maintain a list of member-genealogists willing to do research for a fee. You can find the list here.
