“Our mission is to Connect our African American Community to their Ancestors through the Tacoma Family History Center.”
Celebrate Black History Month by learning how to piece together the stories of your
ancestors, and bring them to life. Tacoma Family History Center is hosting a FREE
genealogy workshop designed specifically for individuals with African American ancestry. This
FREE workshop will be held February 24, 2024, from 9AM to 2PM at the Tacoma Family
History Center, 1102 S Pearl St. in Tacoma Washington. A free lunch will be served to
attendees.
Connection with ancestors can come from the stories our families and friends tell.
