A National Family Verification Challenge
Hosted by Freedmen Nation – Open to the Public
📣 Calling All American Families with U.S. Slavery Roots:
It’s time to answer the question:
Whose family will rise first — and rise largest — in the Verified Freedmen Registry?
This is your opportunity to get Verified through Freedmen Nation and help your entire family step into their rightful historical place under the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust.
🧾 How It Works
✅ STEP #1: Sign Up to Begin Verification
Fill out your Status Check form to begin the verification process.
📤 STEP #2: Upload Documents
Submit genealogical records that link your family line to formerly enslaved persons in the United States.
These may include:
Freedmen’s Bureau Records
U.S. Census (1870, 1880)
Slave Schedules
U.S. Colored Troop pension files
Death certificates, oral histories, or family Bibles
Once you are verified, you will receive a Freedmen Nation ID to begin linking your family members to the Trust.
👨🏽👩🏽👧🏽 Step Into Leadership — Grow Your Verified Family Group
After you’re verified, you can invite your relatives to join the Trust under your Freedmen Nation ID. Use your family tree, shared records, and verification status to fast-track their approval. The bigger your verified family group, the higher your visibility in the national registry.
👩🏽💻 Are You a Family Historian or Genealogist?
This challenge is a perfect opportunity to put your research to work.
Help your own family get verified and preserve their rightful standing.
If you’re accepted into our Genealogist in Training Program, your hours will count toward Trust certification.
