Honoring Our Enslaved Ancestors

We honor our enslaved ancestors for:

their strength and survival; their suffering and sacrifice;

their faith and forgiveness; their endurance and indomitable spirit;

their courage and perseverance; and their contributions in the building of our nations.

 

Welcome to the ISDSA Web Site.  Anyone can submit information on slave ancestry.  Descendants of slaves and descendants of slaveholders can submit names and other information about former slaves.  Anyone who has documents with slave names can submit that information to ISDSA.
