For over 20 years, I have worked by the help of God to find out about my Colbert ancestry. I am extremely proud to be a Colbert regardless of what I may find. I recently proved that my Gr-gr-great grandfather was named George Colbert
from Va yet was a slave alos in Webster County Ga to the
Sims or the Bells families. His body was buried in Bell Cemetery a slave area gravesite given to us by the slaveowners at Friendship Baptist curch in Plains.
These are a list of my stumbling blocks.
1. White people are ashamed and are not sharing vital slave info with African American side.
2. Not saved records- photos, birth or death records, letters, etc
3. Family losing vital info
Regardless of the trouble it has caused me, I press on because I have to find out more. This research means so much to me. Help me if you can.
Slave Owners records
photos
transport of train or ship recods of slaves
thanbk you,
Gordon
