Hundreds of Names of Slaves and Their Owners

I'm pleased to announce publication of my new website: www.lastroadtofreedom.com. Please visit and click on Register of Freedmen to track my ongoing transcription project--"Somebody Signed My Name." So far, I've transcribed over four hundred names of former slaves and their owners. I do hope my readers are able to make some connections.

More forthcoming.

Names of Contraband

I am in the process of transcribing the names of hundreds of African Americans who traveled to the camps. I have completed A through C and hope to make significant headway in the next year toward completion. Please find my work so far at www.lastroadtofreedom.com.

I hope you find an ancestor there!
