The “Roots” of Genealogy at the National Archives
By **Jessie Kratz, Historian of the National Archives** | *Pieces of History*
In 1964, writer and historian Alex Haley visited the National Archives to research his family history. Looking in the 1870 census records for Alamance County, NC, he was able to confirm some details he heard through his family oral histories. This set him on a 13-year journey to find his family’s origens in Africa.
From his research he published the book *Roots: The Saga of an American Family* in 1976. The novel is based on the lives of six generations, starting with perhaps the most well-known character, Kunta Kinte, who was captured in Gambia and brought to America to be sold into slavery.
The book became a best seller and the following year was adapted into an extremely popular television miniseries that sparked a national interest in genealogy.

It was created as a WPA project by painter Edward Laning in 1938, but was lost decades later during a storm.
See the 90-foot recreation on display at the National Archives in Atlanta, starting July 21 through December of 2012.

Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1887, the musician began giving guitar concerts at age nine. He eventually switched from the traditional guitar to the harp guitar, a 14-string instrument mounted on a pedestal. Taraffo started touring abroad in 1910, performing on his own and with other musicians. Known as “the Paganini of the guitar”—a reference to the legendary Italian violinist—he was wildly popular around the world and especially in South America.
You can see Taraffo’s story in Attachments, open through September 4, and in this blog post.
