I've been reading the subject of Dena and her quest to get beyond the "brick wall" of 1860 to find her ancestors, who were slaves. I'd like to know how I can start getting some back info. The only family ancestors I can find in Little Rock, AR, in 1870, are the family of WOOD. James Allen WOOD and wife Martha WOOD (my ggrandmother). J. Allen's stepdaughter was listed as a daughter -- her name was Janetta MOORE, but she was listed with her stepfather's surname. Another child, J. Allen's son, is William WOOD. I probably need to go back and try to find neighbors that may be familiar to me. I cannot find my DOUTHARD (spelling could be anything at this point), in the 1870 African-American Index CD. I am checking out the possibility that my DOUTHARD folks were in another state like TN, for instance. The Tax information, where can I scope that out on line? Anyone know?
