Northern Virginia Slavery Database

 This database searches enslaved ancestors using the birth, death, and probate records of Fairfax and Loudon Counties, Virginia from 1853 to 1859. These records exist because the Virginia General Assembly passed a law requiring the systemic statewide recording of births and deaths.
