Research Sources
With the advent of the Internet, the rate of information access has grown exponentially. This is
great news for the genealogist. Many websites provide maps, census records, and forums that assist the genealogist with
their family research. Unfortunately, because of the exhaustive nature of such records, we are unable to provide access to everything. Yet we are able to provide numerous records pertaining to the Harlees. |

Church Records
Before there was a formal document accounting for a town's inhabitants, there were church records.
On these records, the faithful were counted for in births, marriages, deaths and church roles that, in some churches, spans
hundreds of years. This is true for the African-American community as well. • Beauty Spot Church Cemetery Records • Henry Pete Harlee's Funeral |
Military Records
As long as there has been a United States, there has been a military. And despite the slave trade,
African-Americans served in the military on many levels. Whether the individual was drafted or signed up voluntarily, their records serve as a gold mine for information not readily available on other records. This includes names of parents, dates of birth, place of birth and occupation. |

Census Records
Enumerated every 10 years, the first census was taken in 1790 in the United States.
From that point until the 1870 Census, African-Americans were noted as property. Yet each census record is important to the
genealogist. On this site, we will account for census records that pertain to the Harlees.

Slave Lists
From 1860 and back, slave lists accounted for the many slaves on each plantation throughout the
United States. On most of these lists, individuals were accounted for by age, sex, and price. This makes it extremely
difficult for the African-American who is conducting research, especially when their family stories include
specific slave names.

Word of Mouth
Family stories provide pride and instruction to all who listen. On this site we will document
family histories and stories dervived from our readers. Some may be just folklore but I challenge you to
look past that for the historical knowledge. If you have a family story that you'd like to recount on this site, let us know. |
