Hey Everyone, We have finally graduated from a "beta" database to a real link for Slave Data for African Americans in Missouri. The new link is: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/slaves/ As usual, I encourage any researcher to post slave related data, wills, probate, family ledgers, diaries etc., to the African Americans in Missouri site at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/ or http://www.usgennet.org/ahtopaag/index.html We are interested in data from Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisiana as well... you can also post slave data to the Afrigeneas webpage at http://www.afrigeneas.com I have updated the African Americans Missouri site with Cooper and Howard County Marriages and a variety of other materials....the above sites will shortly be updated. In the meantime, check it out and post queries and see other slave related information including slave schedules sites at: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram> and <http://www.rootsweb.com/slaveinfo.html> There was an excellent site mentioned in USA Today for Virginia Slave Runaways ... which lead me to track one of my family's owners named CHILTON. The site includes a database and actual newspaper postings: http://www.wise.virginia.edu/cvc/history/runaways Well, enjoy... and I look forward to your feedback.
