Accomac Roots
AccomacRoots exists to serve as a resource for researching the genealogy of African American families on Chincoteague Island, Accomac County, Virginia (CI). From 1810 to 1850, free blacks and slaves comprised 40 to 50% of the population of the county. Comparatively very little has been written or compiled about those families and AccomacRoots was established to explore this significant part of our history.
