Hi Everyone,
Anyone who would like to have there FREEDMEN family member honered, please contact Mr. Jim Hicks (address below)

FROM THE FREEDMEN PROJECT:
What we want is to compile a list of Freedmen that would have been on the 1838 Removal.
Jerry Clark tells me,he's hoping to match the surnames they used with their owners during the Removal period and possibly from there to their wills.
If this could be done then we could compile a list of some Freedmen families on the Removal and hopefully then connect them to their later claims and descendants and include them in the honorariums to those individuals.
NOTE: I have supplied many of you with names and family application numbers.
In reguards to your Freedmen family member. We are now in the process of compiling names for those ancesters that "you want to be remembered."
You must list that family members name and application number as well as how it connects up to your geneology. All surnames are needed for the applicant, you are requesting to be considered for the "honorariums."
PLEASE CONTACT Jim Hicks with your information at :
