007 - An Overlooked Source for Southern Genealogy




Generations Cafe show

Summary: Southern research has its challenges. Ari Wilkins of the Dallas Public Library shares an oft-overlooked resource: plantation records.  Ari tells how this collection was put together, where to find the records, and what you'll find in them.  These records are useful whether your ancestor was enslaved, a wealthy plantation owner, or a member of community. Research in a burned county? You want to use plantation records, as these records weren't at the courthouse!  Show notes: AmyJohnsonCrow.com/
