Afro-American group forming: Dot Tribble picked up a flyer at the AL Archives
with the following:

"Attention African American Genaolgists!!!

Are you tired of running into brick walls when tracing your ancestors and
havng no one to complain to?
When you emerge successfully from your latest genealogical feat, do you have
no one to celebrate with?

Now you do!!!

If you are interested in joining the first African-American Genealogical
Society in this area, please contact Ron Shufford at 288-8077, or ask for
Tiffany Kennedy at the Archives Ready Reference Desk."

Pleas for slave data for genealogy research, by Linda Ball and Valencia King Nelson.

Another place to post slave data:

Date: Tue, 23 Sep 1997 11:56:08 -0500 (CDT)
From: Carol C-H [cch@netdoor.com]

Cousins,

[snip]

If, while you are researching your ancestors, you encounter plantation
information - slave data - in wills, deeds, or other documents, please send
it to SLAVEINFO-L@rootsweb.com so that African-American cousins who are
seeking their ancestors might have a better chance of success. If you have
a copyrighted book with such info and are willing to do lookups, please post
that fact to the list, also.

Some of you sent data a few months ago when I was planning to have a website
for that purpose, but this will be even better, I think, since the archives
of that list can be accessed by those who want the information.

Any of you who might also want to join that list can do so by sending
SUBSCRIBE in the message part of a post to SLAVEINFO-L-request@rootsweb.com

You may send information to the mailing list without having to be a member
of it.

John,

One more you can add to the above. Spice3@Juno.com. I send slave names
from wills I run into all the time. She acts as a cutter - doing away with the
unnecessary and just leaving what the researchers need. Her name is Susan.
