WHAT WE'RE RESEARCHING NOW

A Family Tree for Polydore and Adjua DeWolf

This glimpse into Bristol history through the lens of detailed genealogical research is a story about two slaves, both born in Africa, who were brought to Bristol as young children in 1803 by Captain James DeWolf, a slave trader. They later married each other in 1826.
