Hi there. I am looking for connections between my family of Deans from the aforementioned areas in NC and other Deans. As we are black and descended from slaves I would be interested in any property records or wills from the descendants of the slaveowners which I am certain is how we acquired our surname. This is very important to me as I want my children to know all the aspects of their heritage and this is part of it. I am proud of all aspects of my heritage. Will anyone help me. Thank you very much
