About this webinar
What exactly are the 1850 and 1860 United States Slave Schedules and what is their value to researchers? A closer look at this enumeration of “slave inhabitants” will streamline interpretation of these records and will help define the do's and don’ts of working with them.

Fabulous!
Thank you, Renate, for a very informative and easily-understandable presentation. Your visuals were on point and clearly demonstrated your lecture content. I learned so much and I now look forward to reviewing Slave Schedules in the course of my research. How fortunate to be able to add names to a "faceless" enumeration! I am thankful that you were so blessed. I trust and respect your research methods and I will heed your advice about identifying ancestors on the schedules or other non-explicit records. I love my ancestors and I seek their guidance as I do my family research so the last thing I want to do is to dishonor them by spreading inaccurate information. You are a wonderful inspiration and teacher -- thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience so the rest of us can become confident researchers. May you continue to be blessed in all your endeavors!
Thank you so much for this amazing comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the webinar. Best wishes in your research! \n \nRenate
Thank you Renate! This webinar was nothing less than phenomenal. You provided a blueprint for how one might provide names to those dreaded tick marks! Excellent work.
Thank you!
Oh, Renate! This presentation has brought me tears! Amazing work, as always! Thank you!
Excellent and informative presentation!
Great presentation. Provided clues, tips and clarifications to the Slave Schedules. Worth watching again.
I was out and about during the first part of the presentation. Folks were looking at me as I walked around listening to my phone with the volume turned up, especially when the word "slave" was used. But I didn't care. I enjoyed every minute and got home in time to hear the last half hour. I simply must view the recording. Thank you.
So knowledgeable, provided so many crucial details on the slave schedules.
