St Lucia in the house! :-) Thank you so much for the encouragement! I’m fortunate to live near the UK National Archives in London so I’ve had the chance to view source documents. But you’re right it gets so tricky!
I was born in United States but I recently found out through ancestry I have relatives in Barbados. No one in my family was even aware of this and have no clue how we are related. It’s so confusing, I wish I was able to receive more information
Did you ever find out? A lot of enslaved Africans had to stop in Barbados before coming to Virginia or South Carolina and spread out to other states. Slave owners in Barbados also resettled in Virginia and brought their enslaved people. One of the siblings could have stayed behind.
It's weird that the "finding your roots" it's only targeted towards Black Americans yet Afro-caribbeans also don't know all of their roots. I know they say they come from Ghana, Nigeria and Congo but other Africans from the Senegambia region and Madagascar came to.
THANKS FOR THE INFO ❤
Do some more brother I've been doing mine for the last 13 years it's getting trickier now but love the challenge. We are from St Lucia.
