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
