This database provides the indexed genealogies of the descendants of the 272 Slaves sold by Georgetown University in 1838, and was produced in a partnership with the Georgetown Memory Project.

This database is organized into volumes. Each volume is based on a Register-style report on the descendants of the original families. The volume name will include the name of head of the family followed by the group number in parenthesis. For example: “Campbell, Adaline (Group 34)” contains the report of the descendants of Adaline Campbell, who is the 34th family. The final volume, titled Source Documents, contains indexed images of birth, marriage, and death certificates for people who are documented in the Register reports in the earlier other volumes.

This database contains 50 volumes with nearly 1,000 images and over 10,000 records and 32,000 searchable names.

Each report is limited to a maximum of 4 generations. Any person born on or after 1 Jan 1919 is excluded completely from the report for privacy reasons. The record types that are indexed include; birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial. All available names, including parents and spouses, are included in the index and are searchable
