In honor of Juneteenth, genealogist Trisha Blount will share freedom stories of Greene County men who joined the U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) and research methods for tracing African American genealogy from enslavement through the Civil War and into Reconstruction. Using records from the State Archives of N.C., alongside federal service records, Freedmen's Bureau records, and National Archives pension files, participants will learn about individuals and contraband camps, like the Trent River settlement.
Sign-up for this free webinar, From Enslavement to Reconstruction: Lives of the Greene County USCT, before June 30.
