She has completed formal genealogy training through the Genealogical Society of Broward County and applies research best practices to help individuals begin and organize their family history journeys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenealogy is about far more than tracing names on a chart. It is about preserving legacy, reconnecting families, and ensuring our stories are not lost to history,\u201d said Tamara Bell. \u201cI have had the privilege of organizing virtual and in-person family reunions\u00a0and of\u00a0documenting family experiences in my book, Making Memories Together, published in Reunions Magazine.

It is about preserving family stories, understanding cultural connections, and reclaiming histories that may have been lost, overlooked, or only partially documented,\u201d said Aneatra King, Community Library Manager at the Senior Broward County Library, African-American Research Library &amp; Cultural Center. \u201cThis series is designed to empower individuals to begin researching their family histories and to connect them with the many resources available locally and globally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meetup series also connects attendees with organizations dedicated to preserving family and cultural histories, such as the National Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, the Genealogical Society of Broward County, History Fort Lauderdale, and the Florida State Library system.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers also announced that the Genealogical Society of Broward County Fair will be held on Sunday, October 26, 2026, at the Old Davie School Historical Museum.<br\/>\nFor additional genealogy resources, attendees are encouraged to visit:<br\/>\nBroward County Library History &amp; Genealogy Resources<br\/>\nFlorida Genealogy Resources<\/p>\n<p>About the African American Research Library and Cultural Center<br\/>\nThe African American Research Library and Cultural Center is a distinguished branch of the Broward County Library system, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history and culture of people of African, African American, and Caribbean descent.
