We are currently experiencing issues with the Mr. Sid plugin on the Free Negro Heads of Families. We are working to resolve the problem and hope to have it back up and running shortly.
This 192-page list of free Negro heads of families was compiled from the 1830 census under the direction of Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D., and published in 1925. It contains the name, age range, family size, and county and state residence of 47,300 individuals in 27 states and one territory.
The original volume is available for viewing at the NEHGS Research Library, call number E185/W877/1925.
