Analysis of Slave Data: Excerpted from the Parish Register of Christ
Church, Middlesex County, Virginia 1653 to 1812
|

Since slaves held non-citizen status, extant early vital records
seldom include data on these individuals. It is indeed fortunate
that The Parish Register of Christ Church, Middlesex County,
Virginia, 1653-1812 contains such information. AAHGS-PGCM member,
Paul E. Sluby, Sr., C.G. extracted the information and provided an
in-depth analysis of the historical and genealogical information
therein. $28.00 includes S&H; contact
Carolyn Rowe. |
