As
NGS becomes aware of free access to record groups of interest to those
researching African-American history, neat resources to aid in such research or
anything that crosses our desk and seems to have relevance, we’ll post that
information here.
We
heard the following from Fold3 ...
Fold3 is proud to announce Free
access to our Black History Collection in honor of Black History Month.
This collection includes many enlightening historical records documenting
African American achievements since the earliest days of our nation, and will
be available the entire month of February.
As soon as black soldiers were
recruited to serve the Union in 1863, records were generated to document their
service including Compiled
Service Records for the U.S.
Southern Claims Commission files are petitions by southerners who
lost property to Union troops during the Civil
War, including many blacks ...
Do you know of a free (whether
temporarily so or not) or an interesting resource that those researching
African-American ancestors should know about?
Have you had a recent success in
breaking down an African-American ancestor’s brick wall?
