Thanks for completing the 1880 Census for Letcher Co Kentucky African Americans! Lovely to have the first complete county for KY for the census project.

Thanks for this info; I didn't have a death date for James. James is the son of James N. Cannaday and Martha (Turner) Cannaday. Martha is the daughter of George Wilson Turner and Mildred (Stone) Turner. I appreciate and I'm amazed at all that you do; congrats and keep up the good work.
I have reviewed the new african-american cemetery categories you created. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Fisherman_Cemetery%2C_Ivanhoe%2C_Virginia https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Jim_Shucks_Cemetery%2C_Barren_Springs%2C_Virginia https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Pauper_Cemetery%2C_Wythe%2C_Virginia https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Hickory_Hill_Slave_and_African_American_Cemetery%2C_Hanover%2C_Virginia
They all look good. One suggestion thought, you don't have to add location categories as they are automatically created from the parameters parent= and parent1=.
Thank you for your help! If you have any other questions regarding African-American Cemeteries feel free to reach out to me. Regards, Denise
Thanks for completing the merges. Since this was a very distant relationship for me, I'll go ahead and bow out as PM. If you see my name on any other family profiles, let me know.
Your very distant cousin,
Claire :)

We’ve started the February challenge here: February Connecting Challenge.
I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Slavery Team. Members can change teams at any time. If you need something to work on, we now have a master task list here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Black_Heritage_Project_Tasklist
We now have a project badge! Hooray! As soon as I hear back from you that you’d like to continue with the project, I will add the badge to your profile.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Emma
