Greetings LCA group members!

We've just created an index page for more than 60 Footnote Pages we've built from records YOU have volunteered to index! As we build new pages, we will add them to the index page below. You can follow that page on Footnote.com to be notified of new records added:

Lowcountry Africana: South Carolina Slave Records on Footnote.com

So many thanks to our group members who have volunteered to index this FREE Footnote collection. If you have not done so, we hope you will volunteer to index 10 pages of this remarkable collection. Your indexing 10 pages will make an enormous contribution to making the records searchable on Footnote and via Internet search engines.

So far we have indexed more than 1,000 pages, and the names of hundreds of enslaved ancestors have been restored to history.

To learn more and sign up to volunteer, please CLICK HERE.

Does anyone know which Landgrave or Cassique owned Edisto Island (S.C.?), and what the name of the Barony was?
