African-American
(143 products)African American genealogical research requires specialized knowledge of the records created before and after emancipation, and Heritage Books carries titles addressing that research across all periods and regions. The collection includes published abstracts of freedmen's bureau records, manumission documents, slaveholder estate inventories that name enslaved individuals, church records from historically Black congregations, and post-Civil War vital records. Titles addressing research methodology for African American genealogy are also included alongside the compiled records and family histories.
