Slavery-Era Heritage (Pre-1865)

The Black Pearls of Genealogy (BPOG) Heritage Labels Collection helps families and researchers visually represent ancestors in family trees, presentations, and memorial projects. These labels acknowledge history, identity, and contributions — from slavery and emancipation to family bonds, occupations, and military service.

About these Labels

These labels reflect the realities of slavery in America before 1865, including the experiences of African ancestors who were enslaved and the roles of those who participated in or resisted the system. Together, they give families tools to tell an honest story about bondage, freedom, and abolition.
