Download or read book My Best Genealogy Tips Finding Formerly Enslaved Ancestors written by Robin R. Foster and published by Benjamin Books, LLC. This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever wonder about the enslaved people in your ancestry? Have you asked the oldest living relative what they remember? Do you know what to do next? I was able to find my second great grandfather, Beverly Vance (1832-1899), in 1880 and 1870 on the census along with his mother, his wife, and his children. Have you located your formerly enslaved ancestor in the 1880 and 1870 censuses? This book, entitled My Best Genealogy Tips: Finding Formerly Enslaved Ancestors, will lead to discovering ancestors who had been enslaved. My move to South Carolina When I first moved to South Carolina in 2005, I no longer had to research my ancestors from afar. I lived in the same town as the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. I went regularly to Richland Library where I learned about my family in Richland County, and I identified Abbeville County as the place where they were enslaved. After going through and documenting everything I had, I reached out to the community where Beverly was enslaved in Abbeville County, South Carolina. Originally, I was puzzled because I could not find them in 1880. Greenwood County was redistricted in 1897. They did not move, but Greenwood County did not exist before 1897. It was Abbeville County, SC before 1897. Digging a little deeper I moved to Greenwood County, SC and spent two years trying to uncover what I could. The research included in this book is for those of you who would like to take my examples and use them to find burials for those who were formerly enslaved. I documented formerly enslaved ancestors and worked with the descendants of enslavers to discover what they knew. I did not take the advice given to me by other people while I was researching. It is so important to have a clear head when you are looking for family. I was told that I would not be able to document my ancestors before 1870. I was told that I would not find them married after enslavement. I was told that I did not need to search for them on land deeds or even in newspapers. These are the things that I was told. Let me say that if I had entertained any of what I was told, I would not have had the findings presented in this book. I did not listen, and I have found all but one of my ancestors married after enslavement. So, just remember when you have become a little down because you have made that overwhelming discovery and grandma just does not want to talk or people with the best intentions give the wrong advice. For these reasons, I have a habit of visiting courthouses, libraries, historical societies, and archives to see their resources in-person after I have exhausted researching online. Even with all that has been put online, I notice parts of collections. All the original documentation is kept at the repository. Do not get me wrong though. Databases such as familysearch.org and Ancestry.com are vital. FamilySearch Books, WorldCat.org, Internet Archive, and Amazon.com are places I have found my ancestors. Louisiana In 2016, Ellis and I went on an adventure to discover more about his family in Louisiana. We started out in New Orleans and discovered his Grandmother Louise’s parents after searching among the clerk of court records in East Feliciano Parish. Alabama Ellis and I also visited the Jefferson County, Alabama where Ellis found a plat map which showed his grandparents' property. Mississippi and North Carolina I will share my recent findings with you. They are a much harder group of people to research involving Buck Nelms (B. 1830) and his family from Mississippi and North Carolina back to 1841. For me oral history has played an integral part in my finding documentation. I have gathered many examples of historical records that you will want to know about so that you too can find your formerly enslaved ancestor.

Download or read book Telling OUR Stories written by Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society and published by . This book was released on 2022-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in this book, Telling Our Stories: A Collection of Family History Narratives, are biographical profiles researched, written, and complied by members of the Fred Hart Williams Genealogical Society (FHWGS), a Detroit-based organization established in 1979 to research and preserve African American family history and culture. During 2019, the Society solicited family history narratives from its members to create a book for publication to form a lasting legacy in honor of the Society's fortieth anniversary. The response was overwhelming. These narratives are a testament to the resilience, persistence, tragedy, and triumphs of our ancestors who endured the brutality of enslavement, the horrors of post-civil war terrorism, Jim Crow Laws, racial discrimination, and the terrorism perpetrated in response to the civil rights movement. These narratives reflect how that history shaped the world the descendants of those ancestors would inherit. There are families that escaped enslavement on the Underground Railroad. There are families whose ancestors were freedom fighters. There are families that would emerge from enslavement to share-cropping to migrating to the promise of hope in the industrial north. With the passing of each generation, we risk the loss of history that is not recorded. It is the mission of the Fred Hart Williams Genealogy Society to preserve that history.
