The museum's Robert Frederick Smith Explore Your Family History Center assists those starting their family-history journey and learning the basics of African American genealogy through one-on-one sessions and programs. All services are free and open to anyone at any stage of their research process—not just scholars or genealogy experts—and they're now offered online. The staff shares this advice for anyone starting their research: • Start with what you know. Pick the branch of your family you know the most about, because you’ll be more likely to find records. • Be flexible with spellings, dates and locations. Don’t count out records that don't match exactly with family history or memory. • Try to get as much information from as many sources as possible, including online databases, newspapers and public records. • Learn about communities, not just individuals, to understand the context of the period and area where your family lived.
