Description:
"Tracing family connections has long interested Barbadians, but for persons whose ancestry extends back into the slave period (pre-1834/38) and includes family members with some African physical heritage (whether or not they also have European ancestry) the problem of identifying ancestors who lived during the slave period can be difficult. It is hoped that the present work will assist such persons in tracing their ancestry into the period before the abolition of slavery in Barbados." 100 pages; color pictorial paper covers; new in shrinkwrap.
