These microfilms primarily contain statistical and historical information. For 1865 and 1866, the section on abandoned and confiscated lands (Family History Library [https://www.familysearch.org/s/catalog/show?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcatalog.familysearch.org%3A8080%2Fwww-catalogapi-webservice%2Fitem%2F362692&hash=HloWXpZgU9zB10k5M56iYku8TUc%253D film 1612358] ) includes the names of the owners of the plantations or homes that were abandoned, confiscated, or leased. It gives the county and location, a description of the house, the number of acres owned, and the number of cabins of former slaves. These films do not appear to contain the names of former slaves. | ||
