{"product_id":"101-n0791","title":"An Index to the Signatures of Deposit for the Freedman's Savings and Loan Bank, 1865-1869, For the State of Mississippi: Columbia, Natchez and Vicksburg","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book indexes records of the Freedman’s Savings and Loan Bank, which was begun after the Civil War and Emancipation to provide black Union troops with a place to deposit their wages and bounties. It consists of three indices of Registers of Signatures of Depositors, one for each of the three branch offices in Mississippi: Columbia, Natchez, and Vicksburg. More than 7,000 African Americans can be located within these indices to the Registers, which are arranged in alphabetical order by the surname of the individual account. Each entry includes account number, surname, given name, place of birth, place of residence, race, and a notation as to whether more information is available in the original record. The actual Registers of Signatures of Deposit for the Freedman’s Savings and Loan Bank may also include the following information: date of entry, place raised, age, complexion, name of spouse, names of children, name of father, name of mother, names of brothers and sisters, other information useful in identification, signatures, and height. Whether the listed relatives were living or dead was often recorded, and sometimes even additional information was divulged. The compilers of this index are members of the African American Genealogical and Historical Society of Chicago and have been researching Mississippi families for ten years. They are active in several national, state and local societies and have written articles for genealogical journals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNettie Nesbary, Betty Craft, Lettie Sabbs and Karen Massey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1997), 2026, 5.5\" x 8.5\", 150 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788407918\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-N0791\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44104390443126,"sku":"101-N0791","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-n0791-1500px.png?v=1788296563","url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/products\/101-n0791","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
