I wish i was there to see this presentation. Some of my family stayed in Southern Ontario Canada and can trace some back to the 1700s. What a great find.

Wow 👏🏾🇺🇸 When I was a kid. My grandmother had a picture 8n her house that always scared me. It was a multi generational photo, where she was a child. She was being held by her grand dad, he was a freed man by that point

So where are the photos of the “slave catchers” and what they look like⁉️ Genealogy folks‼️ The stories come from those who wasn’t here! Where are the emancipation papers on the newly freed people⁉️ What happened to the former “masters”⁉️ How did former “salves” purchase land⁉️ Just a few Questions
