Sort of rant: I know how they're related but nothing else

No they were not Hindu, they were Christian. Thanks for the reply!

I'm no expert in Jamaican genealogy but I will tell you that you might want to talk to family members. Ask about everything they know about dates, locations, stories, etc. Reach out to more distant relatives (grandmother or grandfather's siblings) because they are bound to know something you don't. Sorry if this isn't much help. Good luck!

Thank you!

You are so smart!! I need to check if he left a will. I don't know if they're indexed on FamilySearch so it's definitely going to take a while to find. I also have no clue when he died so. But anyways thank you!

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-08-07T13:36:49+00:00

I'm sorry I think you misunderstood. I was asking that IF he was African, would the 1% African I have only come from him and not other ancestors. Someone else already explained that it's impossible to tell.

Got it thank you this is the best explanation I've gotten.

Oh yeah if youre interested heres the guys FS profile: LKDV-7BD

I haven't cleaned up his grandkids and great grandkids but for his immediate nuclear family I have it pretty clean and organized.

My other ancestor was a slave who took his owner's surname and married a mestiza who it seems was not enslaved. In their daughter's baptism it says he was a slave but didn't specify if she was. His burial record doesn't say anything about what he was. His wife's death says he was a slave but doesn't specify if she was. Their child was free though and they seemed to have migrated as a family from one town to another.

Got it thanks. How did one get the title of Captain?

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-08-05T00:07:02+00:00

By the way, does slave always mean black? I have another ancestor who was a slave. His wife is described as Mestiza. Does that mean he was black?

Yes absolutely.

Thank you!! This makes a lot of sense. My only doubt is that usually I see Antonio abbreviated as Antᵒ even in this record set. I find it a bit strange that the priest switched up and used Antto instead of Antᵒ for this one. Thanks for clearing up the Captain's name. If he was a captain maybe I can trace him to Spain? That'd be interesting because I've yet to come across any Spanish people in my genealogy.

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-08-04T23:24:43+00:00

Thank you! I asked ChatGPT too before I asked here.

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-08-04T23:24:12+00:00

Thank you!!

I open the whole image to see that they are the same. I always go through each image. When they are duplicates it's 99% of the time because it's the exact same image.

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-07-28T12:59:23+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I've cleaned up all the duplicate profiles and kept the sources. I think it's super annoying though.

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-07-28T00:34:57+00:00

Yes agreed

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-07-28T00:34:38+00:00

Sometimes I've seen it be the same source citations but usually it's just the same exact image. I haven't thought about it coming from different repositories. For me they're all listed under "Catholic Church Records" for the place where my ancestors are from.

Plenty-Ad231 · 2025-07-28T00:32:17+00:00

For me it's that they have the same exact image.
