The Oberlin African-American Genealogy and History Group (OAAGHG) was organized in 2000 from a group of friends who met informally around their interest in genealogy.  OAAGHG was incorporated by the State of Ohio in the spring of 2001 and recognized as a federal non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization during the summer of 2002.

The OAAGHG logo is an original design by Margaret Christian featuring two hands holding a baobab tree and symbolizing the continued connection of African-Americans to Africa, the land of our ancestors.
