The two minute countdown has begun! #BlackProGen
Grad students put together the list that @seeking_uva uses to find descendants of the enslaved laborers that helped to make @UVA what it is today. #BlackProGen
@familytreegirl "Know the community, and then go and find out what the resources are." #BlackProGen
@familytreegirl started doing research before she even began tracking down descendants for @seeking_uva #BlackProGen
@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
@seeking_uva goes through original letters, bills of sale, inventories, account settlements and more at the libraries at @UVALibrary to make connections to living people for the project. #BlackProGen
