This presentation offers a structured approach for family historians and genealogists to uncover their Georgia-based enslaved ancestors in historical records. We'll begin with a brief timeline of slavery in Georgia, setting the stage for our research. To find enslaved ancestors, we start by identifying a target ancestor. The key research questions to answer are:
- Was the target ancestor enslaved?
- If so, who was their enslaver(s)?
