Why AfroGen

We pair cultural fluency with the methodologies African sources demand, and we’re honest about what the records can and can’t tell us.

01

We know the limitations

African genealogical research has real constraints. We know where records exist, where they don't, and how to work around the gaps.

02

Cultural understanding

Naming systems, oral tradition, community structures: we read the context written records alone can't tell you.

03

Proven methodologies

Archival, documentary, field, and oral-history methods, applied by researchers who navigate African sources every day.
