Most African-Americans living in America today have ancestors who came to this country, from Africa, sometime before the Civil War started, in 1861, and most of them were slaves. 

The challenge is: (1) find your African-American ancestors in the 1870 Census Report; and then (2) connect them to a record as a slave. When you do this, you may also find out who their "owner" was.

This book will also show you how you can get FREE online access to every census report (from 1790 through 1940); as well as FREE online access to lots of other important records, including birth records, marriage records, death records, and cemetery records! 

You are going to be thrilled, when you discover who your ancestors were! Be sure to keep notes of what you find, so that you can share what you learn with your family and friends!
