The Kinfolkology team is currently revising the First Edition of Oceans of Kinfolk (published at SlaveVoyages.org in 2021): a process involving careful, manual review of every single record for transcription accuracy. Once each record is reviewed, it is added here, to the Second Edition of Oceans of Kinfolk. While this process is ongoing, the unrevised 2021 version of the database can still be viewed here.
