My brother was kind enough to claim a monitor for me and ship it from NYC to my apartment in Baltimore. From then on, I had the benefit of two screens for data entry. It made a huge difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cbb5323c5cbf3da42525e6/3c89e669-f56d-4cb6-b338-9f80c4ae98df/Fletch+and+me.jpg Blog - Open Letter to the Slave Voyages Project - Make it stand out My grandfather, Fletcher Thompson, was always very supportive of my work. He read everything I wrote, as well as the many related books I mailed to him. Excel was beyond his technological ability, so he asked me to explain the dataset to him in person. The first question he asked was whether I had been able to find any information about the families of the people trafficked to New Orleans. “Sometimes,” I told him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cbb5323c5cbf3da42525e6/daa3a18f-42da-436c-b3f8-54b640aa89af/bmore.jpg Blog - Open Letter to the Slave Voyages Project - Make it stand out Manifest of the Ship States, sailing from Baltimore to New Orleans, April 1828.

In 1836, Charles Carroll of Doughoregan, the grandson of the man who probably drew up this record, trafficked 51 people to New Orleans; he had leased them to a sugar plantation. The names of the 51 appear in Oceans of Kinfolk. I have been able to trace most to people listed on this document and others from the Carroll archive.
