AAHGS Houston is a premier genealogy resource in Texas
inspiring others to discover their family connections, culture, and heritage and
promoting the preservation of Black history, places, and culture. Our Mission:

As a Chapter of the premier institution (AAHGS) for African ancestry family history and genealogy in the United States, our primary task is to nurture the interest and collaboration

of genealogical and family history research, with emphasis on though not limited to people of African descent. The Chapter further seeks to preserve the local history and cultural heritage of people of African descent in the State of Texas. Our Purpose:

The thrust of the Chapter acts as a facilitator and teaching vehicle in order to advance African American genealogical & family history research in Texas. The Chapter also serves as an agent to encourage greater involvement of African Americans in the study and preservation of their respective family history. Our Goal:

We believe that the collective compilation and corroboration of our family histories will generate a more accurate portrayal of African American family life, history and culture. Most of all, we believe that through these endeavors the restoration and strengthening of the African American family is made possible. Our Objective:

Through sharing data, attending educational workshops, sponsoring and/or co-sponsoring special events, and participating in local, regional and national conferences, our membership will obtain or reinforce the necessary skills-set to document their research in multiple media format for future posterity.
