Request a Missing Cemetery or Historic Document
You are welcome to share any historic record collection or cemetery you feel should be included in the Reclaiming Our African Roots effort to make them searchable online. We cannot guarantee requests will be approved but we do appreciate your local knowledge of what exists.

Cemetery requests are dependent on volunteers willing to fulfill them.

Historic document requests will be evaluated and handled on a case by case basis and may be denied due to:


 * Archival contracts and permissions
 * Digital rights of images
 * Partner priorities and resources

Submit a new request per record collection or cemetery in the Missing Record or Cemetery Request form.
