Here is a very informative article from Framily Tree Magazine on the Freedmen’s Bureau and how to search for records.
” The collection is not new, though recent digitization efforts by FamilySearch and Ancestry.comhave made it more accessible. But it does combat the myth of African Americans not being able to locate information on their ancestors prior to 1870.”
Happy searching.
