"Records Relating to Indentures"


Register of Indentures Dec. 1865 - June 1866

Underaged children who were not or could not be supported by their parents or were orphans were apprenticed by Freedmen's Bureau officals to persons who would be responsible for their upbringing and welfare. The last six pages of this register were too faded to transcribe.
