Episode 3: Heirs Property and Young People W/ Kajsa Foskey
Hey y'all! Today you will be hearing from Kajsa Foskey who is the Economic Justice Outreach Coordinator for the Virginia Poverty Law Center. Kajsa has firsthand experience with heirs property in her own family. In this episode, Kajsa will discuss the research she did on her family's property and her own experiences with heirs property. This was a great interview to do and I hope Kajsa will inspire you all to look more into your own family's genealogy!
Episode 2: The Arnwine Family
Hey y'all! Today you will be hearing from the Arnwine Family descendants. In 1776, a man named Albertis Arnwine was born. This man became a wealthy slaveowner in Tennessee and had multiple mixed raced children with an enslaved woman on his property, Gracie Arnwine. In his will, Albertis meant for his property to be left to Gracie, their children, and Gracie's family. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The Arnwine descendants take us through the complicated and heartbreaking story of the history of their family's property in Texas that was taken from their ancestors many years ago. **The information contained in this podcast is not intended to constitute legal advice.
