About this Item

The Freedman's Bank Records on CD-Rom is a unique searchable database documenting several generations of African-Americans immediately following the Civil War. With the almost half a million names from the records digitized and indexed on one CD-Rom, it comprises one of the most comprehensive databases of African-American ancestry available.

The Freedman's Bank was created to assist newly freed slaves during and after the Civil War. The records cover the time period from about 1864 to 1871 and document the names and family relationships of those who used the bank. While the information contained in these records is very incomplete by normal genealogical standards, they are some of the very few records that document these individuals and are a vital source of information for those with African American ancestry. There are approximately 480,000 names in the file, which have been entered in a pedigree-linked GEDCOM format.
