Hi there!
Thank you for your reply. Senegal? That is very interesting. I had no idea that a descendant of slaves could research their history back to the specific West African Country.
I assume that you are of Creole descent. Dominica was initially a Spanish Colony, then a French Colony, and finally a British Colony. The Louisiana connection is interesting because I have read that people (French and Native American) used to travel from Louisiana to Dominica during French colonization, some settled there.
My research has just begun. I will update this thread as I find out more information. Good luck on your genealogical quest.
Again, thank you.
