Classification: Query
Surnames: Daw
I am black,originally from Guyana(formerly British Guiana),South America.My grandparents were descendants of slaves.The ONLY information that I have is that Daw were slave owners in Suriname.However,a brother and sister did not like the business of being slave owners and moved to Guyana(to the county of Berbice,to be exact).The sister moved to Georgetown,capital of Guyana) and contact was lost with her
Recall,that slavery was abolished in Guyana in the 1800s.I am
descended from the brother and through inter-marriages a black family settled in Mahaica,East Coast Demerara,Guyana with the surname Daw
