Answer 1

Hi Paul, for each person in your family who owned slaves, you can add the slave owner by location category. In this case, "Effingham County, Georgia, Slave Owners" and you can add the category [[Category: USBH Heritage Exchange]] which alerts the US Black Heritage Project there is a profile that may need more categories or other work to help families make connections.
