Barbados Slavery

Slavery

Emancipation occurred in Barbados in 1834. For two decades before that time, special slave censuses, which are held at The National Archives (Kew, England), were kept. The slaves are identified by given name under their masters. If you can identify your ancestor's master, this source will prove of tremendous value to your research.
