445. 4 Million New Freed Slave Records Released for Indexing. Let's help index them!
This is truly a great resource for all of us, whether we have freed slave ancestors or not. I have several ancestors who freed their slaves before the Civil War. I would love to find their names, and do their Temple work. I'm not sure how to go about that. If any of you find out, please e mail me. My e mail is in my profile. I would love to hear from anyone reading this. Tell me what you think about what I post or about yourselves and your lives. I am truly interested! THANKS!
