A collection of slavery records newly available over the Internet may
help thousands of people trace their families back to Africa through
St. Croix, a former slave-trading hub in the Caribbean.
The records, which went online Thursday at ancestry.com, already
have helped Susan Samuel of Houston discover the story of an ancestor
who was freed after persuading officials that she had been illegally
sold into slavery.
"Even though she came from a very horrible situation, she decided
not to be defined by it," Samuel said of her great-
great-great-great-grandmother Venus Johannes, who was captured as a
12-year-old girl in what is now Senegal in West Africa.
