Incude more boxes for indexing information on slaves
It's already really hard to find information on ancestors who were enslaved. They moved a lot, died a lot, rarely have a last name and poor records if any were kept.
I'm currently arbitrating records from slavery area Puerto Rico. Many people that were slaves have the conditions listed above and only one parent listed. Additional information could include a box for name of plantation, god parents, name of owner, country of origin, race. Think, if my ancestors where enslaved, what would make it easier to find information on them?
Please, this is very important.

@lisamariekonopinski1 I would like to refer you to the Indexing Chat Group and someone should be able to help you there.
