    3. Searching for Our Names

    Genealogical research is more difficult moving back from the Civil War through the Colonial era. One participant visits the plantation where her ancestors toiled. Another is shocked to learn that a relative, though a soldier, was neither African American nor fought for the Union. Genealogists explain the difficulties inherent when African Americans have spent more generations enslaved than free.
