Legacy of Love: Uncovering Love in the Archive (The Wedding Certificate)
Love in the Archive … in the spirit of Black Love I discuss how one particular record i.e. the Wedding Certificate or Marriage License helped me gain more information about a female ancestor and how records can help us better uncover different stories about our ancestors and Black identities and experiences in America….including those with West Indian ancestry. 🇯🇲 🇺🇸
Other key points:
🧬 Adoption
🧬 Wedding / Marriage Licence
🧬 Immigration Records i.e., ship passenger lists
🧬 Harlem Renaissance
🧬 African American Great Migration & West Indian Migration
