This Week in Genealogy, You Won't Want To Miss...


"STEPHEN BINYARD AND HIS DESCENDANTS: A BLACK AMERICAN STORY" WITH RESEARCHERS KIMBERLY MORGAN AND AKOSUA MOORE

Location: St. Helena Branch Library
Date & Time: Saturday, February 21, 2015 - 1:00pm – 3:00pm

A small gravestone on the USMC-Air Station Beaufort was the beginning of a decade long research project for Kimberley Morgan. Eventually Morgan's research led her to the research of Asouka Moore, a descendant of Stephen Binyard. Together these women have woven a presentation to show the true legacy of Binyard's life. This program is the highlight of the Beaufort District Collection's celebration of Black History Month. Please note: This program will be held at St. Helena Branch Library because we expect large attendance. Registration opens January 21, 2015. Registration Required. Call 255-6468 or e-mail gracec@bcgov.net.
