     One of our favorite features of Our Georgia Roots is Wordless Wednesday, where stunning images from the 1800's speak for themselves.
Most notable of the Wordless Wednesday posts is hundreds of images of Wilkes County, GA estate inventories, which list African Americans who were enslaved in Wilkes County.
