A great video. I found a will and sent it to Emma and she entered the slaves. I am now excited to enter the information myself. Thank you for this video.
I'm so glad you are helping in this project. I'm also so glad that you can do this work yourself. Yay!
I have several successions of my ancestors and family members that lists the slaves with their names and ages grouped by families.
I also have several successions of some members of Stephen F. Austin's "Old Three Hundred "!
Very interesting information and documentation and you can find the (Slave Narratives) on ancestry as well where they interviewed hundreds of former slaves.
An extremely insightful series of interviews
The documents are so important. I hope you'll find great value in this video and how to add such documentation to add to WikiTree.
This is a fantastic video and shows us how to honor those who decend from formerly enslaved people. I hope more people learn about this project and contribute to it!!!! Thank you for this video!
It was my pleasure.
Wonderful presentation, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Hi there! Very interesting interview. I have some enslaved ancestors but not in the US but Mauritius, I would like to create profiles for them and the other people enslaved but I'm not sure how I would tag them as they aren't US enslaved. The slave registers for Mauritius have names and surnames for the enslaved and often have the name of the mother though often no father information, some I've managed to piece together several generations into a small tree, I just wasn't sure what to do with this information so was thinking of wikitree when I saw your video.
I will direct you to the people that know what to do... that's the WikiTree G2G forum that Emma mentioned in this video.
Here's a link www.wikitree.com/g2g/
Sign up for a free account and ask your question. Then you can build your profiles on that platform from there.
Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video. Do we have to be members of the USBH Project in order to create profiles for the enslaved people that we find in wills, and to use the USBH Heritage Exchange category?
You have to be a WikiTree user to create a profile.
You don't have to a member of the USBH project to tag the profile. You tag the profile so project managers can make sure the profiles are tagged correctly and added to the project.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Thanks. I've been a member of WikiTree for years, though only relatively recently started really working with it. I've come across slaves in wills and hope that I can get the added properly. Thanks again!
I have found so many errors on Family Search from people contributing information to the wrong ancestor. I don’t know how to fix this or even if I have the right info to fix it. Do you find this on Wiki-tree, too? It’s very frustrating !
Collaborative trees take patience. For one, some of the mistakes on FamilySearch are there from the original source data dumped into the tree in 2012/2013 from their seed databases. FamilySearch wants us to clean things up so that the mistakes are corrected and our family tree becomes more accurate overtime.
WikiTree did not have seed data, so it's user contributed. People are supposed to add information with at least one source. And the tree is only as good as the sources linked to the profiles. I have found that many WikiTreers take their work very seriously, so it's possible they are more accurate but only you can evaluate what is there and determine that for yourself.
But I have a playlist of how to work with FamiliySearch to improve the accuracy of the information. ruclips.net/p/PLcVx-GSCjcdnyGiTmGWWUXmo5NCvpPatw
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Thanks for the information and the suggestions! I’ve been working on my tree, that I started in high school, for the last 6 years, and I’ve hit so many brick walls. I started with Ancestry, but my retired budget doesn’t allow it now. I may sign up for a six month stint when I am completely stuck on all family lines. Hopefully, I won’t have screwed it up too much by then😆I appreciate the info that you share👍🏼
Is there a place that lists ‘slave owners’. That way I could load in a name to see if I had an ancestor that owned slaves? Thanks
Yep. It's all explained in the Black Heritage Project information.
Hi! 18cM overlap with 50 cousins is little or enough to find a common ancestor?
Ask that question on a video related to DNA and overlap on our channel and Andy will answer it.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Ok, thank you!
Signing in by using Google, it takes me to my account at MyHeritage, but I don't see a sign-in directly into WikiTree
Did you go to WIkiTree at this link? www.wikitree.com/ The login is in the upper right corner.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics I probably Googled the site, but thank you, this link works for me, I am in now. I had a profile already, so up and moving now
This is great work! Working to connect the world. 💯♦️💎💜😘🤍🤎🙏✝️🌍💚💙🌈
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
