aii, so i have a question that i've asked many ppl on this website before but never really got very good awsners on. How to trace Indo-Caribbean ancestry? like i can tell yall 1 thing, my family is from the Leeward Antilles(Aruba,Curacao etc) and i would like to know if any Indian slaves or such were transported to Curacao or something. Because my family's black, but they don't look african at the slightest, to help you determine here are some pictures of me and my mother and i'll let you decide how "Indian" we look ahhahaha
(o yea, edit. The surnames that are prevelant in my family are, Dacosta-Gomez, Coffie, Simons, and Heymans. If that will help you determine if my family is from India, i hope it will help hahaha)

Some Indians did go as slaves, so you might have Indian ancestry. And that surname is Indian
@QueenOfQuirk: Aii = alright, what i ment 2 say by that is that im glad 2 know that the surname is Indian ( assuming that you ment the Dacosta-gomez one) so that gives me more motivation 2 continue researching haha
