Do you have enslaved or enslavers in your family tree? If so, your research is needed in support of the 10 Million Names Project. The project is supported by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (American Ancestors) to create a FREE searchable online database of the estimated 10 million people of African descent who were enslaved between the 1500s-1865.
I submitted to the project an updated report I had done on one of my ancestors, Daniel Hollingshead. I've blogged about Daniel previously here, here, here, here, and here. I don't want my research to be lost and I want it to be of value to others so I updated a report I wrote about Daniel and uploaded it to the project.
Here's the link to the website. It's simple to contribute! I saved my report as a .pdf, clicked "I'd like to upload family notes or a genealogy," typed in my email, what the submission was regarding (info about enslaved and enslavers), typed in the title, added a brief description of what I was uploading, clicked that I agree to share, and then attached my report. Don't forget to press Send! I received a submission number and and an email confirming the information was received.
You may have seen the recent RootsTech talk about this project. Now you can be a part of it!
