The work of Paul Heinegg

Paul Heinegg has done extensive research on free Black families of the upper south. We are related to some of the families mentioned in his book;


FREE AFRICAN AMERICANS OF VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA, MARYLAND AND DELAWARE


This is another place where a lot of research is still to be done in order to determine just who is who but it gives us a very good picture of where and how to start looking. I really do think the most info is going to be found in the county records and libraries of King George and some of the the neighboring counties. Once we start though, you never know when something will pop up out of the blue.
