Slavery Records available online and my 200th post!
FamilySearch and other groups have been working together to digitize and make records of freed African American slaves available online. These records are from the US Freedmen's Bureau and cover from just after the beginning of the U.S. Civil War until approximately 1878. FamilySearch and its partners also hope to have everything indexed for easy access by 2016.

Congratulations!
