Sharon, Cousin, somewhat removed.
I don't want to get off the discussion. But slavery has never stopped. I know the North and the South of the present day North America fought each other, the British navy sailed the seven seas releasing slaves sinking ships and so on. In their Colonies releasing slaves at a quarter of their value.
Behind this all was "BIG MONEY". It was at the time of the Industrial revolution. They dint call you a slave any more, you become an Employee and your Boss become an Employer. They dint hit you with a whip, they got measures like, with holding bonuses, disciplinary actions. It will take to long
to name all the methods they use.
If an Employee (read slave) get himself an Employee (read slave) that person becomes a servant.
Now back to my wife's 8th maternal line Grandmother.
I have put some notes in the foregoing reply blocks. It makes interesting reading.
According to the first fifty years project Lijsbeth Arabus and her sister was brought from Madagascar and were princesses given to Maria van Riebeeck by the French Admiral. It is also stated that he departed from Nantes, France via Cape Verde (Located Atlantic Ocean). Madagascar (Indian Ocean) up to Socotra and then to the Red sea. He returned the same way. So his last stop before reaching Saldanah Bay was Madagascar.
First Fifty years project mentioned that they were princesses and then one or other scribe makes the mistake of writing from Madagascar
Madagascar at that stage had a stable monarchy and I don't think they would have been selling their children.
We should some time decide what is the most reliable Dna or the writings
of a non caring clerk
As you will see from the Dna spreading .map the highest concentration of L3b3 Dna group are in the vicinity of Ethiopia Previously known as Abyssinia and more North
