    1. Florida Archives...slave records
    2. Can someone answer these questions? Please e-mail Yvette Thompsoni if you can help. Subj: Florida archives Date: 11/2/98 1:19:25 AM Eastern Standard Time From: <A HREF="ross3@bellsouth.net">ross3@bellsouth.net</A> (Ross Thompson III) To: bettymaes@aol.com I am looking for slave records. Were records of slaves usually kept with the purchases for the plantation? ex. seed, animals... If so would I find this information in the tax records. I was at the courthouse this summer and the books in the basement aren't indexed. I don't know where to start down there. Also the WPA conducted interviews in the 1930s of former slaves in certain states. Do you know if the Florida Archives would have this type of information from the WPA? Please let me know the answers to the querstions I am planning another trip in December. Thanks, Yvette Thompsoni
