Statistics By End of 2022

Tabulations display where we are at the end of 2022. They include prior work done on the county before the team was established as well as the team's contributions.

Total slave profile count is a bit inflated as it is quite difficult to tabulate due to some slaves having been with multiple owners or on multiple lists for one owner.
