| Annotation: | In 1838, Maryland’s Jesuit priests sold hundreds of men, women, and children to Southern plantations to raise money for the construction of Georgetown University. This site may be used to search for an ancestor and to hear the stories of the more than 8,000 descendants of the enslaved, located through genealogical research. |
