Thank you this very informative video and dearth of information. I am trying to track the path of my ancestor's enslaved people from St. Louis, MO to New Orleans, LA in 1832. Hopefully, these resources will be helpful. Thank you.

This is not working at all as described. Can someone update this please?

Ugh! It’s not MissourA---it’s Missouri-eeeee

Very informative, thanks.

Thank you for bringing me back to the works of Toni Morrison. I enjoyed and give thumbs up. It angers me that her work/writings are banned. She wrote of real life-black real life. To hear she was critisized because her limiting whites into her work-aauugghh! In 1980 I had to read The Bluest Eye in college. I was not a fan, but years later when I read it...one of my favorite pieces of LITERATURE. Her work is real life .Thisis how it was and it is bad how it is. It is 2024, USA, descimination is 'suppose' to be over. Anyway, this strong, woman, who was black won a Pulitzer and Nobel Peace Prize.I could go on and on. Thank you again.

You actually reinforce the notion that we were not people every time yo refer to us as slaves and them as slave-owners. A driving force in enslavement was the need to make Africans believe that our captivity was normal and natural, rather than something that was imposed on us. Therefore, referring to us as slaves and and them as slave-owners actually reproduces the notion that it was a natural condition. On the other hand, referring to us as enslaved and them as enslavers, forces one to raise the question of who was enslaved and who did the enslaving. And as an extension of that, it is preposterous to call enslaved black people African Americans. The Americans are the ones who enslaved us. To call an enslaved people by a name that identifies them with the people actively enslaving them, is a not-so-subtle way of erasing our national identity and right to self-determination as an oppressed nation.

The times that o have reached out to my mainstream American cousins. They normally aren’t interested in our connection. I did find one women though who was open to converse. Turns out we both descend from a Thomas Edmonds who arrived in Virginia in 1630. He eventually had children one of which moved West and was her 7x great grandfather

Thank you so much for a very interesting and thorough presentation! I was stuck in traffic when this was originally presented, and not happy I missed it, so thank you also to STLCOLIB for providing this viewing!

My father was the first born in New York City. His older brothers records just said Russia. We found his WWII record that said he was born in Vitebsk Belarus.

MyHeritage needs to offer one month subscriptions.

I did it Mrs. Brooks! I told you I would

This was time well spent! Thank you for sharing this wealth of information. I believe I can truly benefit from the resources that were noted as I’ve used knew of them and have used some, however not really successful. Though the guidance on how to find them is most helpful. I listened to this recording, yet I’m going to play again and watch the video on TV as well as find the previous pertinent video(s).

Are you aware that there were what was known as Free Negro Slave Owners? That's why it's easy to search by slave owner. We was the slave owner.

Congratulations to your academic achievement I am proud of you earning that high school diploma is a great accomplishment keep up the good work!

Excellent information!

America is best! Many, many countries don't even have census records for their citizens. America even has them for those wrongly enslaved.

Congratulations yes 🎊🎉

06:00: It would save YEARS of time if the name of the enslavers and what farms so many of my ancestors were on was known. So, my family would know who/what family did the horrid atrocities!!!

This was such a fun experience! I enjoyed reliving it with this video!

A great interview . Such a funny personable woman . I've not read her books .. but will now look into them ❤

Thank you my earliest memory is being in the president so library in canton Ohio.

very nice video

I appreciate Gary he was very thorough with his information and explain everything step-by-step. This is the first time I've had a true understanding about government sales. Me and my husband have a small business. And we are just up and running and waiting for an opportunity to sell. This video has helped us push along just a bit.

Yay SQSH! 🎉🥳🤟💜🌈

Why weren’t the face’s of the disabled people shown? They were recorded from their backs while almost all the abled-bodied peoples faces were shown. 🤔

I am a several great granddaughter of Josiah Collins. I’d love to get more information on him
