The purpose of this page is to list and link profiles for people with wills on images 574-788 in FamilySearch's records. These images correspond to pages 1-215 (table of contents starts on page 556). These records are also available on Ancestry.com. The records are indexed and searchable by name there, but are not searchable on FamilySearch.
This space page is primarily for US Black Heritage Pathfinders so they can learn about the Heritage Exchange process of creating slave owners and enslaved ancestors. But anyone may contribute if they wish, using the project guidelines. See the Heritage Exchange Portal for more information.
Tips:
- Perhaps about 40% of these wills have slaves listed within them. This is a rough estimate.
- Some of these people may already have profiles on Wikitree, so make sure to check for possible duplicates before creating a new profile
- Names which have more than one page are more likely to have slaves listed
- Page numbers are copied from the table of contents, so they do not correspond to the image number on FamilySearch or Ancestry. Just start at FamilySearch image __, which is page 1 in the handwritten book.
