slave trade databases
Our newspaper carried an article about new work being done at Emory University, on the creation of a databaseto identify slave names.They welcome input from everyone, in the job of identifying slaves' names.Many times these names can pinpoint where a person originated...the geographic area."Some also reveal the day of the week an individual was born, or whether that individual was the oldest, youngest or middle child or a twin.They can also reveal ethnic or linguistic groups."
