Fontaine-Maury Society Presentation

On Saturday, October 21st I had the pleasure of speaking to members of the Fontaine Maury Society at the Historic Franklin Masonic Hall.  The Fontaine-Maury Society's annual meeting was held in Franklin, Tennessee this year and I was invited to give a lunchtime presentation to them about my work and how their interest in genealogy could be useful to African American families.  It was a privilege to be invited and I am grateful to Chip Hooper for  thinking of me and extending the invitation.  I wanted to make the presentation that I used more publicly available in case the Society members wanted to refer to it or share it with those who couldn't attend, so I am posting it here.  I'm also posting below the resources that I shared in the handout at the program.
