The Great African American Migration Part 3: Additional Sources and Records – James Tanner (Sep 2023)

This third video in a six-part series explains the causes and destinations of the early part of the movement with an additional example of a family with an amplification of the documents and sources for moving further back in time primarily using the U.S. Census records. The representative family will be used to show how the records help to supply research continuity. This part of the series will focus on a family from Detroit.

"BYU access" means that the item is accessible on BYU campus or remotely for logged-in BYU students and faculty. If labeled “BYU campus” then it is available anywhere on BYU campus, but not remotely. "BYU Library" indicates that you may only access the resource while physically at the BYU Library. (If you have a personal account with any of these sites, you can access them anywhere. If so, it is best to access them directly rather than using these links.)

*FamilySearch is accessible anywhere on the Internet, but many of the images (ca. 25-30%) require viewing at a FamilySearch family history center or affiliate library. The BYU Library has access to these images.
