We’ve received word from various sources including the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society - Metro Atlanta Chapter, that genealogist, blogger and GeneaBloggers member Sandra Taliaferro has passed away.
Sandra’s blog – I Never Knew My Father – was not only Sandra’s personal blog but a resource for African-American genealogy as well as a joy to read. Her contributions to the genealogy community will be missed.
You can read more about Sandra and her work as a genealogist and a blogger here. In addition, read our interview with Sandra in the “May I Introduce To You” series back in 2009 here. Please remember her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your tribute to Sandra. She was always encouraging us to tell our stories.
Such a loss. She was a wonderful writer, researcher and marvelously supportive to others.
May our dearest Sandra Taliaferro please rest in peace among the Ancestors.
She will continue to be with us in Spirit!
Peace & Blessings,
“Guided by the Ancestors”
So sorry to hear this, I have enjoyed reading Sandra’s writing. My sympathy to her family.
Thanks for this tribute. May Sandra rest in peace with our ancestors. She will be missed.
Thank you for sharing the news about Sandra’s death. I enjoyed reading her blog and am very sorry to hear of her loss. God’s peace be with Sandra and her family.
San was an amazing story teller, keen genealogy researcher and a loving friend. She lived beyond her disability with grace, a wicked sense of humor and an indomitable spirit. May she be at peace… free now to roam the Heavens on her own terms.
Sandra would illuminate when she spoke about ancestry stuff. SHE encourage all of us to dig a little deeper. A true researcher never gives up. Sandra never gave up. Every hint peaked her desire to go deeper… Rest my friend.
I will miss my sweet cousin in law. We met through searching for my husbands slave ancestors and found those slaves stayed near each inter-marrying. What a wonderful world God has made..through the horror of slavery..to the present day…we are one made whole by our love for each other. I miss your beauty almost to much, Sandra.
