Searching for our Black Roots

Mrs. E's Collectibles in association with Amazon.com, dedicates this site to inspiring and assisting those of us who have a desire to find our Roots. It is a work in process, we intend to continue to research and add to the list. Bookmark us and check back from time to time. What were our ancestors lives like? What was a typical day for them? What events influenced them? Step into their shoes and what do you see? Understanding their lives and surroundings is key to tracing their family lines. The reason why a family migrated and where they relocated was influenced by the slave social structure.

Where and how you lived affected your courting distance and whom you married. Social movements of the period changed lives and sometimes separated families.
