To my knowledge slaves retained only their first names & usually the 'owners' surname. That makes researching a true family unity virtually impossible. I have seen original lists of slaves at various historical places. All were listed by first name &/o nick name. Family members weren't even listed. If there is some kind of list out there I would be interested in it as well.
