Take a virtual tour of the timeline of American/ Virginian History with highlights of Fauquier's African American presences and contributions (18 exhibits)
AAHA is an organization designed for the purpose of teaching a complete and accurate history of the United States by including the influences of African Americans, Native Americans of both North and South America, and European Americans. Though our base is in Fauquier County, we have not limited our holdings and interests in this area. Our library houses books that include European and American classics, U.S. history, texts about native Americans and African-Americans. The merging of these peoples has led to the creation of a rich American mosaic. Our primary goal is to document the African experience in and upon our America and America's interaction with the Africans. Our view of history is uniquely American -- a culture of many colors. We teach this history in a non-biased approach that includes all ethnic and cultural groups.

I just looked up Charles F Mercer is grandfather was John Mercer born 2-6-1704 in Dublin Ireland.
hello my maiden name is edmonds im from england
Awesome!!
It was so great to watch this! Brian Proctor, who commented above, is my first cousin, so same story - Samuel and Margaret are our great-great grandparents. And it is the branch of the family for which we have the least info. My sister, Lauralyn Proctor, is the historian in the family and will surely be contacting Mike! 😊
My name is Brian Proctor. My great great grandfather was Samuel K Proctor. His son Samuel W proctor was my great grandpa, and his son Edgar was my grandpa. ❤
Hi Bri!
@@tracyproctor907Hi Tracy!!! ❤
My great grandmother lived and worked on Oakley Farm. She lived in the little pinkish/red house on the property. She raised 4 children there, 2 boys and a set of twin girls. Im the only granddaughter of one of the twins. I'm really not sure if my great grandmother's and her descendents grew up there. But I suspect it's highly possible since her parents names are unknown she married very young and lived there until her passing in the early 1970s at around age 67 I believe. I found her death certificate online which was completely unexpected and a blessing. I would really like to help in anyway I can and hopefully find out anything about my genealogy. I was told she was of African and Native American Descent, but I'm almost positive she was a mix of European as well.

Awesome interview Ms Tibbs.❤️
Great job! So very informative.
Get it Steph!
My great grandmother who was born in 1903 lived on Tyler lane. I live there for 6 months and went to HM person school in the early 90s family members still live there
Thank you for inviting me, Christine and AAHA. Even though my research is far from complete, I hope it will help someone find their ancestors.
Fascinating history, Joseph. I'm interested in the AAHA now too.
Thanks!
I am a proctor descendant from the D.c. maryland.
Oh man, you guys are lucky, I'm a Proctor descendant of Salem, Mass 😂
❤This is an awesome and very informative session. I learned a lot, Jerry was an excellent presenter! This should encourage all of us to learn more about our ancestry! Thank you for sharing. Christine is a thorough interviewer and we are blessed to have you both in our AA family. Continue the great work!!!❤
Pᵣₒmₒˢᵐ 😬
I’m a Proctor from Washington DC ♥️ My great grandfather’s father was a “Proctor” born in Maryland. My great grandfather grew up in Capital Heights MD, borderline DC. ☺️
How did they get the last name Stokes? My last name is Stokes. Would like to connect with genealogy. I am the oldest of ten and my dad is oldest of nine.

Hi. Do you have any information on the Hackley family?
