Well, unfortunately it looks like the trip to Abbeville has to be postponed for now, folks. My sister is getting married this summer and living relatives take precedence over dead ones! I'll keep you posted on the new plan as soon as I have one!
In the meantime, research continues! I'm now looking into the Baskin family's slaves and trying to see if we can make a connection with the African American Baskin families out there. I also hope to get some DNA testing done soon, assuming I have the money for it. Please let me know if any of you have information that can help with the slave research and/or would be interested in doing a DNA test.
