@seeking_uva looks primarily at the central Virginia counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Greene, Fluvanna, Louisa, and Nelson areas including the city of Charlottesville #BlackProGen
@familytreegirl uses responses on the intake form as a lead to search for ancestors on the list created that documents the enslaved laborers #BlackProGen
