• Considerations

  • Credit for the submission will be given to the Contributor.

  • When submitting records that are not fully African American, please state them as such.

  • If a category is not in place for the information that is being contributed, one will be provided.

  • When partial listings are submitted, please state them as such.

  • If records are for a certain county please state within the document what county and state they relate to.
