African American Research Resources for the Nelson/Boswell Family and Relatives

In the NGS Magazine, July-September 2012 publication, Pamela Lyons Brinegar, CG, wrote an article entitled, "Researching Nineteenth-Century African American Women."  The following were online resources that Pamela had suggested to enrich your African American historical projects :

Records of the field offices for the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Land

Digital Library on American Slavery

                http://library.uncg.edu/slavery/

African American Women

                http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/collections/digitized/african-american-women/

Notable Kentucky African Americans

African American Records and Research – FamilySearch.org

                https://www.familysearch.org/african-american-genealogy

In the coming weeks, I will explore each of these, and reveal if I am successful in revealing additional information regarding my Thomas Nelson/Eliza Boswell family project.  In the meantime, if you are also researching families who might have records in these areas, please try them yourself.
