A great talk about discovering the slave-holders and the enslaved in your ancestry. I am Southern through and through and have ancestors from every southern state. I have run across many slave-holders in my ancestry and have been struggling with how to mark them and what to do with them. I have also wanted to do something about the genealogy of those enslaved by my ancestors.

@legalgenealogist Wow, thanks for the resource. I have been struggling with how to handle all of my enslaver ancestors (I am thoroughly Southern so lots of different family lines had enslaved people). I have wanted to put some noticeable marker on those folks rather than using a picture or some other non-descript avatar but haven't yet settled on what to do.
