Nicka always inspires! I would love to see the tables she used to track her data. Multicolumn spreadsheets are not required in my line of work, and the logic for creating them to hold large quantities of data from many different sources doesn't come naturally to me. Please bring her back for the nitty gritty how-to! :)
I watched the video on YouTube and I didn't know that I was going to find My Ancestors, Moosa and Katy Dunbar and many others who survived the Transatlantic Slave Trade and who were born before the founding of the United States. Thank You Nicka Smith for revealing the truth.
Excellent as usual...Nicka is does amazing research.
A powerful story with excellent documentation. This is how real genealogical research is done.
The most moving and riveting empirical evidenced-based history of the enslaved on American soil, with deed records, census records, estate transaction records that has every occurred. Groundbreaking history in the making. Nicka has done an outstanding job uncovering the undisclosed and hidden facts that deserve to be revealed as our ancestors are commissioning us to tell their stories, as they were prohibited from doing do. "I am Moosa Dunbar!" "I am Katy Dunbar!" I am the direct descendant of these remarkable people, who dared to survive through the dehumanization.
Absolutely Amazing! This will help my family's research by leaps and bounds!
Outstanding presentation!!!!!
Amazing presentation! Inspires me to keep a database of the enslaved people in the communities in which I research in hopes one day to tell their stories.
