Three Ways To Identify Your Ancestor's Enslaver

People that research African-ancestored individuals in America are often plagued by the theoretical “1870 Brick Wall.” This phrase stems from the necessity to identify who enslaved an ancestor to find information on them before they were recorded as free on the 1870 census. This presentation involves three short case studies, proving that it’s possible to break through that barrier. One focuses on traditional genealogy, one uses DNA research, and the other resulted from unintentional fate. These examples serve to inspire everyone to try their hand at slavery-era research.
