MPAAGHS
The mission of the Middle Peninsula African-American Genealogical and Historical Society of Virginia (MPAAGHS) is to create and provide opportunities to enable African Americans to research, document and publish their family history and genealogy. The group's focus is the Middle Peninsula area (including the counties of Essex, Middlesex, King and Queen and King William) which is located in the Tidewater region of Virginia. Anyone doing black genealogy research is encouraged to participate and will surely find something to share. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in African-American ancestry, history and culture.
The organization meets on the second Saturday of each month (except July and August) at 11:00 a.m. normally at the:
- Essex Public Library
- 117 North Church Lane (Route US-17)
- Tappahannock, Virginia (map)
