Finding Enslaved Ancestors
Embedded Files
While searching for ancestors in 1800s conveyances, the volume of un-indexed trafficking records was staggering. So, in the spirit of Dr. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, I started writing them down. I am doing my best to write down every name in the books and book sections listed below, but certainly some will be accidentally missed. For this I offer regrets and an invitation to review and correct the records. I'm currently focused on the period of 1820-1826 New Iberia in a search for Charlotte Gillis, among others.
