| *The first African settlers in the U.S. were indentured servants in Jamestown, Va., in 1619 (before the Piligrims landed at Plymouth Rock) and freed after 7 years.
| |
| *African American is the most common ancestry in: [http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/c2kbr-35.pdf Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana].
| |
| *The [[African American Freedman's Savings and Trust Company Records|Freedman's Bank]] and the [[African American Freedmen's Bureau Records|Freedmen's Bureau]] were separate organizations, from different federal departments, in separate National Archives record groups.
| |
| *Ten percent of the African American population was free before the Civil War.
| |
| *Only 15 percent of freed slaves used the family name of a former owner.
| |
| *From 1865 to 1875 many African Americans changed their family name.
