Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research Presents -  

In Their Own Words: Genealogy in the Slave Narratives

Uncovering the genealogy of the formerly enslaved can be challenging, but sometimes the information is left in first-hand accounts, commonly known as "Slave Narratives.” From books to projects set up to learn about life during slavery, researchers can find an abundance of genealogical information about enslaved families, their owners, and their communities – straight from the mouths of the Ancestors. Presented by guest speaker Renate Y. Sanders.
