    It introduced the topic and concept; explained it; then used a case study to apply it. The application is what helps cement the understanding and use of records. It forces one to think differently based on times (pre or post emancipation) local laws and practices. It’s just another perfect example of how we must stay laser focused and approach the research with an arsenal of tools, namely those laws and practices that apply to our cases. It was outstanding because it was concise and ultra-informative.

    Excellent webinar by Ari Wilkins on FPOC in Apprentice Records. She made it very clear and easy to follow her findings. This adds an additional understanding to the lives of FPOC and my family from NC.

    This is a new to me area of exploration and I am eager to follow the leads given by Ari!! My gt.grandfather (1808-1889) was a FPOC but family lore does not say how that happened or anything about his early life. He also was a JP in NC in the 1860s and literate. I will be busy trying to fill in some gaps in my information about Benj. Johnson of Edgecombe Co.
