Spring 2023 Lemon Project Genealogical Research Roundtable – Monthly Meeting

The Lemon Project Genealogical Research Roundtable is an extension of the Genealogy Show & Tell sessions started as part of our first Sankofa Summer Workshop Series. The roundtable is a collaboration of genealogists and family historians at all levels of expertise. The session will focus on slavery and post-emancipation eras. Of course, genealogical research leads us down many paths and places, but ties to Virginia are the focus of this group.

Goals of the roundtable are to:

• Discuss genealogical research challenges and find solutions

• Assist new family historians on how to get started

• Share resources and research findings

The Lemon Project Genealogy Initiative focuses on finding descendants of people enslaved by William & Mary. During these sessions, we hope to connect with people who have ties to W&M pre- and post-Emancipation.

The meeting is informal, and everyone will be able to contribute. The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom, with potential in-person research sessions in the future.
