  • Register on names of slaves. Ancestry.

    Have just read in my local evening newspaper, that Ancestry.co.uk are doing a register on names of slaves

    They are listing details of more than 2.7m slaves and 280,000 slave owners from 17 former colonial dependencies including Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica and Tobago

    The records date from 1812 to 1834 and can be searched by name, birth year and gender of the enslaved or by the name of the slave holder

    Mmm. I wonder whether it will really be .co.uk or will it turn out you have to have a world membership to view it??

          Sorry for the confusion, Maggie is correct. When I searched I did a keyword search and found it that way.

            Thats okay but being the dumbo I am I go for the obvious and search for the database rather than be sensible like you and search for keywords. To be honest I'm not sure I've ever done that or know how to.
