I have recently asked for info for tracing genealogical information on
slaves and have had a tremendous response. If you are interested, with
appologies for the length of the message, here is the information I
received:

the following quoted from is an article in
WELDING LINKS; AFRICAN-AMERICANS FIND LINKS ONLINE
Genealogy for many of us is not just a hobby, but a passionate search for
identity. For African-Americans the internet has become a powerful tool for
making connections and finding links that would have been next to impossible
a few years ago.
Basic genealogical research in courthouses, libraries and archives must be
done by all family historians as the great majority of records of interest
to genealogists are not online yet, and may never be. However, searchable
databases are online and the opportunity to find others researching the same
and connecting families exists for those willing to explore the internet.
Afrigeneas is a mailing list focused on genealogical research and resources
in general and on African ancestry in particular. This page serves as a
focal point for information about African-American families with hot links
to worldwide genealogical sources. Among the subjects currently found at
this homepage are.
African-American Information (lots of how-to tips)
Black Craftsmen in North Carolina
Book review "Crisis of Fear"
Linda Fletcher "Roots Not Severed - Still on The Grapevine"
Happy Hill, Winston-Salem, NC
Black Slave Driver
Amistad Research Center   http://www.arc.tulane.edu   is a must see site.
This center is one of the nations premier minority repositories.
Genealogists should check its Manuscript Collections, which include the
papers of artists, educators, authors, business leaders, clergy, lawyers,
factory workers, farmers, musicians and others. The manuscript collection
contains more than 10 million documents that record the efforts of those who
have charted African-American history and race relations. This center is
acknowledged as the nation's largest independent African-American archives,
as well as a leader in automation and advanced techniques. It is housed on
the campus of Tulane University.
The U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) site Http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/usct.html
provides a database that includes the names of more than 230,000
African-American troops who served in the USCT in the Union army in the
Civil War, 180 histories of USCT units/regiments, and links to the most
significant battles in which they fought.
While there is a tendency for African-American researchers to focus on
ethnic-specific sites, for those researching the slave period of American
history, it is necessary to research records of white families as well.
Genealogists recognize the importance of sharing the records of all our
families. For example, in the African-American topic of Prodigy Classic's
Genealogy Bulletin Board, genealogists are posting information regarding
slaves mentioned in the deeds and wills of white page 2 continues
families under such subjects as "Plantations" and "North Carolina Slave
Owners."
Families are linked together in many ways, and so are the records. By
sharing our genealogical data we make it possible to find the threads that
connect us all.
