A website dedicated to promoting a better understanding of the African American experience - focusing on the legacy of slavery in America's past. Research on this subject encounters many challenges, and the quest for clues requires persistence. The institution of slavery disrupted families leaving most lineages with only vague and scattered documentation. Finding these pieces and putting them back together is not easy, but we must not stop in the effort!!!

Thomas Jefferson kept records on his enslaved “people” providing a rare insight for study. It is an honor to present the results of research documenting the lives of these slave families in this website’s premiere.
