African American History Month is here!
I'm delighted to announce that my guest for both the February 13 and 27 shows will be Teresa Vega.
She is a descendant of the original Lyon family founders of Greenwich and of those enslaved and emancipated in 19th century Greenwich, author, blogger, historian and noted public speaker -just for starters!
Teresa Vega has been researching her family history/genealogy for almost 20 years. She began in 2010 to research her family history in using a combination of traditional genealogy and genetic genealogy. Ms. Vega has been able to trace several of her maternal mixed-race lines back to colonial New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia.
She holds Bachelor’s Degrees in Anthropology and Asian Studies from Bowdoin College and worked as an adjunct professor in Cultural Anthropology while attending CUNY Graduate School and University Centers doctoral program in Anthropology.
Ms. Vega is also the co-administrator of Family Tree DNA’s Malagasy Roots Project along with CeCe Moore of PBS’s Finding Your Roots and DNA Detectives.
My friend, I invite you to underwrite and sponsor our two February African American History Month shows.
