The Society of the First African Families of English America is dedicated to researching, preserving, and honoring the history and genealogy of the earliest African families in English America. Through scholarship, education, and public engagement, the Society documents their contributions and works to ensure their stories are recognized as an essential part of the American founding. Our mission is to advance historical truth, promote genealogical research, and safeguard this legacy for future generations. Members of the Society descend from men, women, and children who arrived on these shores as early as August 1619. We share a commitment to careful research, historical accuracy, and public education, collaborating to document family lineages and support ongoing scholarship. Our work helps to bring long-overdue recognition to the contributions of our ancestors. United by both heritage and purpose, members serve as stewards of a history that connects generations. Through collective effort, we strengthen understanding of America’s rich and diverse origins while fostering a community grounded in remembrance, scholarship, and respect for those who came before us.
