Hello List, We need volunteers to help with the African American Heritage collection of records for the Tazewell County USGenweb Page. This project was initiated by Candy Parent, my predecessor, and there is a need for projects such as this. Right now, there are only two people who are actively working on the Tazewell County project, Rodney Barnett and myself. For now, we especially would like to have records for all "people of color" from census records. The 1870 census was the first census where slaves are shown by their individual surnames and as families. We also need the names from earlier census records - these records would have listed "free" blacks only. Thanks in advance for your help.
