Welcome to the website for the African American Genealogical Society of Milwaukee (AAGSOM) Wisconsin.
 

OUR MISSION

AAGSOM is a non-profit organization committed to the preservation of the history and culture of our African American Ancestors. 

AAGSOM stresses the importance of African American history and genealogy by encouraging research, recording, and documenting personal family histories, and to encourage the preservation of records within families and the community.

Our meetings and education sessions are held monthly (except during July and August) every third Saturday1:30-3:30 p.m. To learn more about researching your family, go to event topics. Meetings will indicate whether they are open to the general public, in-person and/or on Zoom. An individual membership is $20 for the calendar year and gives access to all scheduled events. For additional information go to our membership application.

These sessions offer the opportunity to hear occasional speakers, members share interesting stories, learn helpful hints on research techniques and share ideas. The meeting is open to the public. Go to Events for additional meeting information.

We hope you will come back to visit this site often, as we plan to update it with up-coming events, and new discoveries in genealogical research.
