I discovered that Greene county North Carolina listed some folks - TopicsExpress



          

I discovered that Greene county North Carolina listed some folks as specifically Black instead of Colored in June of 1927. Remember they listed many Indian records as Colored in those days as generic race designation to lump all persons of color together to suppress Indian ancestry on record, and this is very strange because they specified Black in the same month and year of certificates that state Colored. While I was researching my family records that state Colored, I found approx. 24 death certificates issued by Greene county in June of 1927 and these two are the only ones that state Black.
