Ancestry's weekly online journal had this announcement that may be of interest if you are involved in African American research:

"Making a Breakthrough in your African American Research,presented by Marjorie Sholes; Tuesday, February 24, 2009, 9 PM EDT.
African American research poses unique challenges. That’s why Ancestry.com and Wal-art have partnered up to present a free, one-hour webinar on researching your black roots. African American research specialist Marjorie Sholes will take you step-by-step through the process she used to trace one of her own ancestors, showing you the tips and tricks she discovered along the way. In particular, she’ll focus on how to identify slave owners to unlock the history of your slave ancestors. You’ll also learn what resources are available on Ancestry.com and elsewhere to aid in your
research."
