    link button   Geographical List of Claimants
    An important search strategy when researching Southern Claims Commission (SCC) records is to review the claims filed by all the people in a given community. The reason for this is that while only claimants are listed in SCC indexes, approximately 220,000 others, many of whom were family, friends, neighbors, former slaves, and fellow slaves, came forward to give testimony for or against a claimant. In the process of giving their affidavits, claimants and witnesses mention many other family members, friends, and neighbors.
