Another possible source of names that I am using, and maybe you have already tackled, is the Slave Narratives collected by the Federal Writers Project in the the 1930's. That is hit or miss, I know, but maybe some interviewer talked to some former slave from your targeted neighborhood.Lisa Jeffers Fultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008852323273792190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-68052167144365165092019-01-29T07:21:06.243-08:002019-01-29T07:21:06.243-08:00Wow - so interesting.
