History books left this part of the story out...
In the years following the U.S. Civil War, newly-emancipated people began the arduous search for loved ones they had been separated from during enslavement.
Many sought the help of the Freedmen’s Bureau and took out advertisements in newspapers across the country inquiring about the whereabouts of loved ones. Unfortunately, the reunions were few and descendants of formerly enslaved people are STILL searching.
Today’s technological advances present us with the unique opportunity to pick up where formerly enslaved people left off in their search.
Everyday people like YOU can help families connect with long-lost relatives and discover their descendant stories.
