</strong></p><p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I hope you're having great day today. This February let's take a look at African American Heritage  (<a href="http://ohioweblibrary.org/db/kidsinfobits" target="_blank">

<p><strong>African American Heritage</strong>
 is a digital resource exclusively devoted to African American family 
history research. This collection was created in partnership with 
leading African American genealogists and recognized leaders in 
genealogical information to develop a comprehensive mix of resources, 
records, and tools specifically pertaining to African Americans. It 
provides users a dedicated, user-friendly resource that not only brings 
together records critical to African American family research, but also 
connects them to a community of research experts, whose mentoring and 
assistance can frequently be the difference between research success and
 futility.</p>
