African American Genealogy Tip of the Month! 

I am motivated to become a genealogist.

I didn't realize you could do that!

I've been using this feature, I really like it. And I hope this will help their descendants find them easier. Also it helps when you may not know the relation if it isn't listed. Sometimes you come across their name on another family member's cenus or death record and it helps to figure out whose immediate family they are part of and then attach them using their PID# you had created for them when they were listed in the "other relationship" field. 😊

Yes probate records as well even death certificate sometimes

Thank you

Is there any central record of who was freed from who?

I’m interested I have uploaded my tree on Family Search & I have someone assisting me with it because my fan something isn’t coming up correctly

Gosh I need more info like this. I was recently asked to help a lady with her family tree. I had her take a DNA but no results yet. But in the mean time I started working with the paper trail. I can already tell she descends from slaves. This type of research is new for me. I need all the help I can get.
