RLP 124: African American Research Part 4

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about the Southern Claims Commission. This record set was created for loyal southerners to seek redress for supplies seized by the Union Army during the Civil War. Many free people of color filed claims. Many witness and personal statements of former slave owners and the formerly enslaved are included. To access the records, use the index at Ancestry.com and follow the ideas at the FamilySearch Wiki article about the Southern Claims Commission.</span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/researching-african-american-ancestors-in-government-documents-part-4-southern-claims-commission/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Researching African American Ancestors in Government Documents Part 4: Southern Claims Commission</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.totheletterdna.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">To The Letter DNA</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Southern_Claims_Commission"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Southern Claims Commission</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- FamilySearch Wiki</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-e-course/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Research Like a Pro eCourse</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-study-group-wed-1/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Study Group</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- more information and email list</span></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2x0ku3d"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist's Guide</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Diana Elder with Nicole Dyer on Amazon.com</span></p> <p><strong>Thank you</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thanks for listening!
