Finding Aunt Delia: October 2010
http://findingauntdelia.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. AAHGS 2010 and The Bark Azor. It’s been three weeks since I attended the AAHGS conference, and I'm still thinking about it, processing all that I learned. It was my first time and I was just blown away by the incredible work being done! While I went to try to identify new sources to mine or to get more out of the sources I have, sometimes I just got caught up with other people’s experiences. Fortunately for Anna and for all of us, the Liberian Exodus Association and the Bark Azor.
