Under Louisiana law, transactions involving property, power of attorney, mortgages, and so on were recorded by notaries who were a blend of recorder and lawyer. Regarding slavery, that means that sales, mortgages, and financial transactions involving enslaved people are recorded in the records. The annual indexes for individual notaries are online. Researchers must visit the archive or arrange for photocopying/scanning. But the information yielded is extraordinary.
