It is difficult in Geni to create profiles for enslaved persons when there is no family relationship known. However they are often listed in the wills of the persons enslaving them, and so details about them, like their name (or nickname) and some family relationships may also be listed.

This project is to assist those doing research on ancestors when the information is in the profile of another person.
