Freedmen’s Bureau Records: A Family Historian’s Guide

Are you searching for ancestors living in the former Confederate states, Border states, or Washington, D. C. during the Reconstruction Era, 1863 – 1877?

If yes, the records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands will benefit your research. These records document Freedmen taking advantage of their new freedoms, such as legalizing marriages, agreeing to contracts, securing rations, receiving an education, and fighting for justice.

Join Shamele Jordan for this week-long workshop! You'll learn the history of the Freedman's Bureau, as well as the types of documents associated with it. Most importantly, you'll learn how to access Freeman's Bureau documents and incorporate them into your genealogy research.
