If we fail to broaden our search we fail to tell the whole story. Our ancestor's story includes the entire community.Tracing Ancestors, an a3Genealogy Partnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479631946579184004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820176023454345900.post-44091639738073011522013-03-11T13:58:36.177-05:002013-03-11T13:58:36.177-05:00Dr. Bill, I love Missouri history and I know you d...Dr. Bill, I love Missouri history and I know you do.

I've got to get busy with the court records of the ex-slave masters among my ancestors . . . as soon as I get straight the lines of these ancestors, and who "willed" which slaves to whom... then I can do the deeds for sales of "property" (such an outrageous time in history, geez!).<br /><br />And thanks, I never considered that slave owners moved from the Carolinas to Missouri. Good point! Some of my surname moved to Alabama and Texas and Georgia in the early 1800s, it seems. I'll never track them all down.
