Sessions at Atlanta Family History Expo 2010 about Slavery on Saturday 13th November

Plantation records are a genealogical treasure. Dr. Lisa Bratton, a genealogy scholar and a fifth descendant of formerly enslaved Green and Malinda Bratton, will present her research using the Bratton Family Papers - plantation records that includes wills, letters, store records, and other documents. Providing unique insight into the lives of the enslaved, this case study will help attendees as they pursue their own plantation‐era research.
