Researching the history of African American families can be complicated. With families once enslaved, the task involves tracing the family back in public records, identifying the last known slave holder, and then researching the slaveholder’s history to continue to document the family. However, one major story is often overlooked. The story of how freedom came to the family is the one story untold. This webinar, presented by Angela Walton-Raji, will illustrate methods of discovering that missing story, and how to find clues when the ancestors left no stories behind.
