I have been researching the history of Choctaw and Chickasaw Freedmen and continue to find the history remarkable!

Having freedmen ancestors on my maternal and paternal lines provides me with an unique opportunity to help preserve not only their history but assist other Indian Freedmen descendants rediscover their unique history.

As a "trained" photographer, I'm always impressed with the visual image and how it can have an emotional impact for the researcher and their family. That is why I find this particular effort of various researchers and photographers immensely encouraging and vital as a service for researchers not able to travel to the states and cemeteries where their ancestors and family are interred. I hope to add my humble abilities to this great effort!
