"Researching Enslaved Ancestors in Georgia, Researcher and Owner, Ancestral Pathways​"
by

Tammy Ozier

  This presentation offers a structured approach for family historians and genealogists to
  uncover their Georgia-based enslaved ancestors in historical records. We'll begin with a
  brief timeline of slavery in Georgia, setting the stage for our research. To find enslaved
  ancestors, we start by identifying a target ancestor. The key research questions to answer
  are: 1) Was the target ancestor enslaved? 2) If so, who was their enslaver(s)? We'll delve
  into these questions through three illustrative case studies.
