Join us for a special MGS-MPT Genealogy Workshop: Finding the Last Enslaver
In celebration of Black History Month, the Maryland Genealogical Society and Maryland Public Television have partnered to offer a special two-hour webinar focused on African-American genealogical research. This virtual webinar will take place on Wednesday, February 5 from 7-9pm.
"Finding the Last Enslaver," presented by Robyn N. Smith, will offer guidance that can prove successful in uncovering the ancestral heritage of descendants of the enslaved. Robyn will focus on how to find the last enslaver, which is necessary to extend any ancestry before 1870. Content will include information about using sources such as probate records, court documents, tax records, deeds, and more.
