    I must have watched this episode ten thousand times today. My family's enslavers lived in Chester county SC (after leaving colonial VA, and then migrated to KY) and I was able to find the loose papers today from 1789! Those documents confirmed relationships for me. Thanks for all you do (and your panel) to help us find our peeps. ❤

    This was so informative. I’m learned so much. The most valuable thing was it gave me inspiration to persist trying to find slave info at a point in time when it would be easier for me to just give up.

    I don’t know my father and my mom didn’t know her parents. It’s impossible for me to find my roots and it sucks.

    Hey Nicka. Ascension Parish, Louisiana 1890 Census is on microfilm at the New Orleans Public Library.

      @whoisnickasmith  Před 4 lety

      Could you be talking about the 1890 Veterans Census? That exists for the whole state of Louisiana while the population schedules we normally used were destroyed by the fire in the Commerce Department.

    What do you do when your last name has been changed? This happened in both of my parent's families. So hard to keep it straight.

    • @whoisnickasmith
      @whoisnickasmith  Před 2 lety +1

      I'd use DNA in that instance. What are your matches telling you in terms of repetition of surnames, locations, and family trees? That may be the clue as to who your folks are.

    How do you all read their handwriting? Some had a beautiful penmanship and some of it looked like chicken scratch. No real distinction to their letters everything blending in together. Also is it true that even if they didn't have a will, everyone when they passed wilk have probate records?
