Church records can be compared to slave census schedules to find and double check for names and families. [[United States Census|Federal Census Records]] before 1850 list the heads of free black households by name, but only numbered the slaves. The 1850 Census was the first census to name all persons in free households. Some church records will show membership of slaves before the Civil War. Such records can give vital clues to the identity of slaves, who were not named on census records. | Church records can be compared to slave census schedules to find and double check for names and families.
