Tracing Your Roots: A Myriad of Slavery Databases

13 September @ 11:15 am - 12:15 pm EDT
Tracing Your Roots A Family History Event

In the summer of 2023, American Ancestors announced the 10 Million Names project, an undertaking to recover the names of people of African descent who were enslaved in the area of the United States between the 1500s and 1865. The monumental task of centralizing datasets about enslaved ancestors is a work in progress. In the interim, there are a multitude of existing databases that serve a similar purpose but are more limited in scope. Join Genealogist LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson for a presentation on applicable Genealogy Standards for using databases, followed by a survey of current databases that name enslaved people and can be accessed free of charge.
