The African-American Civil War Museum Honors Benjamin Thompson

On Saturday 7 August 2010, I gave a presentation on the life and Civil War service of Benjamin Thompson at the African-American Civil War Museum in Washington, D.C. I was given this certificate in honor of Benjamin Thompson's service by the Assistant Director and Curator of the museum, Hari Jones.

Due to life circumstances, The Family Griot will be suspending this blog until further notice. It has been a wonderful journey researching and writing about my family, developing research techniques and connecting with other African-American genealogical and historical researchers and most importantly, learning about myself. In the upcoming weeks I will be posting papers and records that I've collected over the past few years, mainly for family members who would like to see the documentation from my research. I would like to express a heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone for their support of my research and The Family Griot blog.

Regards,
