I have recently been able to document 100+ years and ownership of hundreds of slaves within a branch of my family, at the same time I connected via DNA with AAs that had the same ancestor. How would the group feel about identifying those ancestors that owned slaves (method unknown) so that AAs that trace back to this vile period can more easily connect with their heritage.
Also, I only have access to the slave schedules, via Ancestry.com – is there a free source?
