American Ancestors and the Daughters of the American Revolution have collaborated on the 10 Million Names Project and will continue to provide more free resources for researchers, historians and anyone interested in learning more.

DAR's Patriots of Color database is now accessible with other sources for researching African-American genealogy on the 10 Million Names website. This is an "important step toward providing a full, transparent and free repository of information about the estimated 10 million men, women, and children of African descent who were enslaved in pre- and post-colonial America (specifically, the territory that would become the United States) before 1865. The goal of the 10 Million Names initiative is to recover their names and as much contextual detail as possible."
