For those of you seeking African American Ancestors in Missouri -- please
check and post to the message boards provided below

It has been some time since I have been able to update additional records to
my African Americans in Missouri website -- but I do continue to get many,
many queries and attempt to assistance each person who contacts me via
email. If you have slave related documents you would like to share; please
feel free to email, fax or snail mail them to me. Over the past year -- my
computer died, but now I have a new system. I was unable to retrieve some
documents from my old system. I now have a new powerful system with CD/DVD
burner and everything so I can retain and hold much more data and images
safely. If you have sent me photos in the past year; and recollect what you
sent; please send me an email reminder so I can check my index of goodies
and make sure I have it. I've literally got a collection of stuff on cd rom
from Missouri folks. I just need another 24 hours in each day to get it
online!

(this is a fascinating website. I found several lawsuits related to
families I am researching -- and I am amazed at what lawsuits were about and
what slaves were put through in fighting for freedom)
