APPALACHIAN BLACK HISTORY
The pedigree below was submitted by the only (so far as is known) black
member of the ARFHS. It concerns a number of families on Pocahontas,
Pendleton, and other counties. Billy Lindsay tells the editor that the
Lindsays, Jordans, Stewarts, Shackefords, Harrises, and Moores are
African Americans, that the Emanuels are African American and American
Indian, and that the Coatneys are Caucasian. Few pedigrees better
represent the ethnic diversity of Americans than does the one below. It
is hoped that persons interested in the families will read Billy's
queries in this issue and that anyone who can offer further information
will write to Billy at the address indicated. It is also hoped that the
pedigree below will serve as a reminder to other African Americans that
they too have a history and that all are welcome as members to
participate in the Allegheny Regional Family History Society.
