Connect with Kinfolkology.
If you are reaching out to ask for help finding information about enslaved ancestors, please provide as much information as you are comfortable providing. We will not share this information with anyone; it just helps us know how to respond and which resources to suggest. If you are able to answer any of the questions below, that’s a good place to start.
Do you have any idea where your ancestors were enslaved? This could be as broad as a region or as specific as the name of a plantation.
Are there specific names (first or last) associated with your family?
Do you know any of the names of your ancestors’ enslavers?
To request a meeting with Kinfolkology’s Executive Director, Jennie K. Williams, Ph.D., please email Dr. Williams’s Executive Assistant, Martha Hall, at martha@kinfolkology.org.
