Unique Person Identifier
A Unique Person Identifier (UPI) is a string of numbers and digits that help trace an individual through time and space. Many enslaved and indentured people did not have last names; a UPI helps one distinguish between individuals that have the same first name. Additionally, if a person is mentioned in multiple documents, a UPI helps link said person to the various instances in which he or she is mentioned.
