I love the way Ms. Nicka storytells about her family and draws you in. She knows her stuff. It's so inspirational. I love her show BlackProGen Live!! Don't give up, you can find your ancestors no matter how long ago.
I have researched my dad's side and haven't been able to find out why his great-grandfather on his dad's side left the slave infested Alabama, through Kansas, then Texas and settled in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana where there were still slaveholders. I don't have proof if they were free or not. Still researching after 20 plus years. And still wondering how my dad's maternal grandfather and his mother acquired 40 acres that was lost or "stolen". Although I do have proof that they did at one time owned that much land. 🤔
I really enjoyed the presentation. You’re really lucky if you have Civil War records or labor contracts, but if you don’t, it seems like you’re looking for a needle in a haystack.

I always learn so much from Nicka, she is a great presenter.
I've had to have watched this same presentation 6-7 different times, always take away something new.
That was well researched and well explained. Nicka Smith is an excellent presenter.
Nicka is amazing! I love this presentation and research. Please post more videos like this 💚
If you ever wonder why your relatives came to Australia 1850s-1890s the answer is more often than not, GOLD.
She's fantastic at presenting.
Thank you for sharing. This is really great to see.
Truly inspiring.
I love her explanations of how she found her John Lee branch.
We're glad you enjoyed the presentation, Corinne! 🙂
Great Job! I love your story and your presentation. Hopefully one day I can go to the convention
Excellent presentation! Wow :)
Amazing. Makes me want to go and chisel away at my brick walls.
Great energy! Great audio and video quality. Love seeing a woman of color doing these videos. Keep it up
The most generic name: John Lee.
I always joke at the weird names I find in my tree but it makes it so much easier to research. Good video!
I agree! I have a Mary Browne, but she has a sister named Philadelphia.
Great presentation.
This was interesting. Thank you for sharing.
That is awesome!
Amazing findings!
Great presentation. Tasmania is part of Australia. Tasmania isn't a separate country.
Never, I mean Never let the location or spelling of a name cause you to build a brick wall!
This woman could easily be an accomplished Police Detective. Amazing!
This was amazing!
Thanks so much for watching, Nita! We're glad you enjoyed Nicka's talk. Have a great day!
Heartbreaking in a sense.
God Bless your Grandmother!
I have a john lee in my family and there's so many john Lee's so I'm stuck.
