Quoting from the site that Sherri has announced: "This site is dedicated to assisting all of those in pursuit of their African American ancestry in Kentucky by being a central depository for African American records thru out the state. By having this site as a centralized location for records such as deeds of manumission, land deeds and grants, slave records and narratives, colored marriage registers, cemetery listings, family histories and the like, those seeking information and those hitting that infamous ³brickwall² will have a place especially for the purpose of researching our African American documents of historical proportion which are one of the few sources available to us as researchers of the past. Considering this site will be used as a centralized collection for African American data, your contributions are extremely important. As always whatever you contribute will be listed as your contribution. Please help this site grow into a site that we as African Americans can call our home on the net; a place where our ancestors meet and call out for us to find them. Respectfully, The KY African American Griot's Founders" SO FOLKS, get out those "papers" and check to see if your KY ancestors mentioned their African American slaves by name in their wills, Bibles or other records and donate that information to the site. It doesn't do anyone any good if the information is locked away in your filing cabinet or on your personal hard drive! TIA, Pat Mount
