Researching Sophie: From Slavery to Freedom

Madame Barbara Trevigne contributed to the earliest research on the lives of the enslaved that lived and worked at the Hermann-Grima House in her article for the Genealogical Research Society of New Orleans titled,” Sophie-Resident of the Hermann-Grima House (In Memory of Judith Bethea).” In this Gallier Gathering, Mme. Trevigne will discuss her article and the research process for piecing together the lives of those enslaved in New Orleans during the antebellum period. Madame Barbara Trevigne received her Master’s in Social Science from Tulane University School of Social Work. She holds several professional licenses, is a New Orleans Tour Guide, and former docent of the Hermann-Grima house. The online event is free, from 6 pm–7 pm.
