Daniela asked:
>Any suggestions about articles I may have missed (I have read the ones in
NGSQ, TAG, and The Genealogists).
Daniela, I'm pasting in below the bibliography I have been building of
articles relevant to African-American genealogy that appear in major
peer-reviewed journals. This includes several from journals you did not
name.
Elizabeth
P.S.
I'm missing one Cameron Allen did in TG or TAG. My copies of a few issues of
those journals have grown legs and walked off ...

freedwoman of 1870 back into slavery but proves her ancestry through 3
