Black Family History: Finding Enslaved Ancestors and their Enslavers

Join Dr Wanda Wyporska, genealogist and CEO of Black Cultural Archives, as she explores the registers of enslaved people, some of which dated from 1813- 1834. These tragic, yet vital records, provide us with records of Caribbeans and Africans, the plantation owners and plantations they were exploited on. Dr Wyporska will discuss these records as well as the Slave Compensation Commission documentation, 1812-1851, and other useful sources for those tracing their Caribbean heritage. Tickets £15 / £10 concessions
