Kel -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Claiborne Conveyances Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 17:41:53 -0500 From: Edith Smith <are_usa@mail.att.net> Reply-To: are_usa@mstar2.net Organization: Ancestral Research Expediting To: troubles@tecinfo.com Dear Mr. or Ms. Priestly: My dtr. and I recently completed extraction of the slave names in the Deeds & Conveyances books in Homer. This is the 2nd Parish we have completed, Bossier being # 1. The results will be published shortly. In using the 1880 census for Claiborne, we have been able to establish several families back into the slave conveyances. We hope this information will be of value to those seeking their ancestors. Please pass the information along to your subscribers. If you wish to see a little of what our work looks like, you might find our website of interest. The address is: http://www.geocities.com/slaverecords2k A part of the work has been also placed at another site since the geocities got such a heavy response that they couldn't keep it on line at all times. This other site is: http://slaves.8m.net Sincerely, Edith Smith and Vivian Lehman or
