Antebellum Southern Plantation Records can offer multifaceted views into many white and African-American Southern families. Families' personal and business correspondence, conditions of plantation life (including the elusive names of slaves and descriptions of slave relationships,) and much more are documented in these records. Learn how these valuable records are organized, how to search the collection, and how to use them in your genealogical research. Case studies will highlight the personal documents of a white Southern family and the indirect documentation of an African-American family.
Ari Wilkins has been an Library Associate at the Dallas Public Library since 2007. She lectures nationally on a multitude of genealogical subjects and specializes in African-American research.
